The Dennes, Dover Road, Ringwould The Dennes, Dover Road, Ringwould www.finns.co.uk www.finns.co.uk C H A R T E R E D S U R V E YO R S , E S TAT E A G E N T S A N D L E T T I N G A G E N T S The Dennes, Dover Road, Ringwould, Deal, Kent, CT14 8HG £595,000 The Dennes is a grand Edwardian family home with many attractive features that offers spacious and versatile accommodation, comprising; spacious reception hall, sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, garden room, ground floor cloakroom, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A detached two bedroom Coach House is available by separate negotiation. For further information, please contact the agent. Ringwould village is located on the outskirts of the historical town of Deal (approximately 3 miles away) where an eclectic range of shopping and leisure facilities can be found. The channel port of Dover is approximately 7 miles away offering access to the continent, and rail links to London St Pancras from nearby Walmer is approximately 2.5 miles away. Owner's comments: “If it's Edwardian splendour you're looking for you might just fall in love with Dennes as we did 22 years ago; it only took us 15 minutes back then to decide, to "know" this was the one. For us, it has been a grand home to build a family of three children, enjoy the company of friends and neighbours and at celebratory times Dennes has been the perfect backdrop to gatherings of over 50 across three large reception rooms; the hallway standing nicely between the dining and drawing rooms. Floor to ceiling measures 3 meters and there are still some original features such as the Butlers bells in all reception rooms, 100 year old stained glass and even proper floor boards. But there's hidden gems here as well; gems only the owners would see: Any early- bird sleeping in the easterly-facing bedroom would witness some of the most dramatic sunrises whilst at the other end of the day, the south-facing bedrooms can be softly lit up from moonlight where clear skies allow. Only Dennes' inhabitants would come to appreciate the perfect build-position of this particular home. The heating and hot water systems have been updated including a fully condensing boiler (housed outside) so even without the open fires it's an efficient, toasty home in the dead of winter. The village has circa 400 residents so it's small, but friendly. 5 minutes walk to the west, you'll be in countryside and 15 minutes walk to the east, right by the sea; living here really has been the best of both worlds.” The accommodation is as follows: (NB: all measurements are an approximate guide only).

  • Draft Local Plan Proposed Site Allocations - Reasons for Site Selection
    Topic Paper: Draft Local Plan Proposed Site Allocations - Reasons for Site Selection Dover District Local Plan Supporting document The Selection of Site Allocations for the Draft Local Plan This paper provides the background to the selection of the proposed housing, gypsy and traveller and employment site allocations for the Draft Local Plan, and sets out the reasoning behind the selection of specific site options within the District’s Regional, District, Rural Service, Local Centres, Villages and Hamlets. Overarching Growth Strategy As part of the preparation of the Local Plan the Council has identified and appraised a range of growth and spatial options through the Sustainability Appraisal (SA) process: • Growth options - range of potential scales of housing and economic growth that could be planned for; • Spatial options - range of potential locational distributions for the growth options. By appraising the reasonable alternative options the SA provides an assessment of how different options perform in environmental, social and economic terms, which helps inform which option should be taken forward. It should be noted, however, that the SA does not decide which spatial strategy should be adopted. Other factors, such as the views of stakeholders and the public, and other evidence base studies, also help to inform the decision. The SA identified and appraised five reasonable spatial options for growth (i.e. the pattern and extent of growth in different locations): • Spatial Option A: Distributing growth to the District’s suitable and potentially suitable housing and employment site options (informed by the HELAA and Economic Land Review). • Spatial Option B: Distributing growth proportionately amongst the District’s existing settlements based on their population.

  • Walmer Design Statement (January 2006)
    This document is dedicated to the memory of Derek W. Featherstone Chairman of the Walmer Design Statement Group April 2001 - August 2003 The Walmer Design Statement Group The Group was formed in April 2001, with the support of Walmer Parish Council, to prepare and publish a Design Statement for the Parish of Walmer. It is recognised that decisions made on planning matters within the parish must conform to current local authority planning policy. This Statement has been produced by the local community and is intended to influence the operation of the statutory planning system and give guidance for the design of all development in Walmer. Our objectives were: • to focus on the special character and design features in different parts of this large and diverse parish, • to set out Design Principles that could be applied appropriately, and • to give local residents an opportunity to influence future planning decisions in a constructive way. The document prepared had to represent their vision. The document has been the subject of a six-week public consultation exercise arranged by Dover District Council. Some alterations were made on the basis of comments received. Dover District Council has agreed to adopt the Walmer Design Statement as a material planning consideration in the assessment and determination of planning applications. ________ The Design Statement Group would like to express its appreciation to those listed Front Cover: Walmer Castle below for the time and expertise they gave to assist in the preparation of this Back Cover : Royal Marines Memorial Bandstand document.
