Re: Lyddenhill Race Circuit – Notice of revised application submission to Dover District Council
You may be aware that Lydden Hill Race Circuit has been preparing a planning application to significantly improve our Circuit facilities. Improvements will include a new access road into the site via the existing unused entrance in Geddinge Lane from the A2, new Hospitality and spectator grandstand buildings, new scrutineering and competitor facilities building, high tech engineering units for race industry related uses and a new gatehouse building, plus additional uses of the Circuit when racing is not taking place including use as a driver training school facility, corporate and track ‘gift’ days and non-race events such as car shows and charity events.
I am pleased to advise that the application has now been submitted to Dover District Council and as avalued supporter of our activities at Lydden Hill, I am seeking your written support to the Council in
support of our proposals.
This is easily done by going to Dover District Council website, www.dover.gov uk and entering your views. When on the Dover District Council website, click on ‘planning applications’ and enter
‘Lydden Hill Race Circuit’. The application reference is DOV/15/00827. When in the application details page, you can click on a ‘comments’ tab and submit comments electronically to Dover District Council. We realise the Circuit name is Lyddenhill, all one word, however the Council have at some time called the site ‘Lydden Hill’ so all their records are under this name as two separate words
instead of one. You can also send in your comments in writing, with the reference DOV/15/00827, for the attention of Luke Blaskett at Dover District Council, White Cliffs Business Park, Dover, Kent
CT16 3PJ or by email to Luke.Blaskett@dover.gov.uk whichever is convenient.
The more support for this application we can get submitted to Dover District Council, the more likely Planning Committee Members are to listen. Unfortunately previous experience shows those who object to the Circuit in general are only too quick to send in objections, whereas those who support do not realize the importance of sending the Council their supporting views. For example, a refused application had 40 objections against only 1 letter of support, whereas our request for additional time for the 2014 World Rallycross Championships was approved following the receipt of more than 100 letters and comments of support sent in by our supporters, against the 40 or so objections. This shows that your support really does make a difference.
