New Plans for Ramsgate Slipways
11 comments:
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.
Wow ! What great new pictures, lets hope that this follows through this time, what a shot in the arm for Ramsgate if this goes ahead !
ReplyDeleteWhatever building is proposed, it is on the WRONG site.
ReplyDeleteThere are many vacant sites around Ramsgate.
SO SAVE OUR SLIPWAYS.
Save our slipways for what exactly? They are an eyesore and simply not commercially viable.... a larger hoist over by the Western Arm would be a more viable alternative.
ReplyDeleteI like the new proposed design.
ReplyDeleteCould be convinced after seeing the plans that this would be a good use of slips, and blend in with existing harbour buildings.
What happened to that nice coloured metal sheeting proposed in a previous applicattion I liked that

ReplyDeleteA financial shot in the arm for a development that is not wanted or required. Its a pity that the develop at any cost friends do not investigate much further than the front of their nose and inflated egos.
ReplyDeleteHaving now seen the detailed layout plans and planning statements, I think this could be a good compromise for the site.
ReplyDeleteThe development seeks to protect the slipways whilst providing a better financial basis for the future prosperity of the site.
The scale of the buildings is more sympathetic to the surrounding listed structures.
Although,personally I have reservations about "mock" industrial buildings I think it maybe the only answer in this situation.
I think Ramsgate should give this scheme SERIOUS consideration.
It's all Bollocks
