Plans published for Ellington School site in Ramsgate

I have just published the last weeks Thanet planning applications on my Thanet press release blog and a quick scan through them reveals that one of them is fairly large.

12 houses and 16 flats involving the demolition of the existing Ellington Girls school buildings, so a fairly large project.

The TDC planning website is one of the most bizarre websites I have ever come across in as much as the web addresses of the pages on it change after a few hours so you can’t publish links to them. If you want to look at any of the applications you need to go to the site and enter the application reference in the search box, this link takes you to the site http://www.ukplanning.com/thanet the application reference for this one is F/TH/09/0428 and may be of interest to some of you.

  4. The problem is that a) Thanet Council dont own the site, its Kent County Council site and b) they (KCC) are desperate to sell to developers to claw back some of the money they lost in the Icelandic bank crash. I fear that the same fate awaits the former Newington Infant school site that we had our eyes on as an open space for the Newington Estate.

  6. Well said Bob, all we ever hear about is Margate. The only thing it ever had going for it was Dreamland, that's now long gone. Everything from Christmas Harbour lights from Ramsgate to the lions share of cash and internal investment it's always been Margate, Margate, Margate. Even now we keep hearing about how hard up their high street is, and yet again it's Margate that get's the national cash award! Independence NOW!

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
