MULTI MILLION POUND TOWN CENTRE PLAN GIVEN GREEN LIGHT

Multi million pound proposals to develop the St James's area in Dover Town Centre, which could bring more than 500 jobs to the area, have been given the green light by Dover District Councillors.

The development includes a superstore, shops and restaurants, a 100 bedroom hotel, flats, a visitor centre, and a landscaped shoppers car park.

The scheme was presented to Full Council by architects Dyer o­n behalf of the Council's development partners Bond City Ltd. This follows a public exhibition of proposals by Bond City Ltd last year.

Councillor Paul Watkins, Leader of Dover District Council, said: 'The recent Council decision brings the Dover St James's development a stage nearer fruition. Its completion will bring a major boost to the economic regeneration of the area. Together with the announcement of the planning application for the White Cliffs Business Park Phase II, the town and the area have the potential to take Dover District forward into a new phase of economic growth.'
