If they don't make money then there will be none of these things or money going to the government in taxes.<br />Hedges, shrubs were planted a long time ago but like all living things they take time to grow and if agricultural land is so important why does this council want to build houses on green belt and why did governments pay farmers to leave fields fallow?<br />I think two Chimneys plans should be approvedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-73664296121016668552009-05-22T22:33:10.554+01:002009-05-22T22:33:10.554+01:00I live locally in Birchington.My family regularly ...I live locally in Birchington.My family regularly go camping at Two Chimneys & we join them, my children are safe & entertained. The plans for expansion look realy good and we definately are in favour of them.Tourists coming to the site use all the local shops,take aways & restaurants. I know because i reccomend some to campers i speak to. <br />I don`t think the site is an eyesore at all and is one of the best kept i have been to.<br />Someone needs to something positive for the area before it gets any worse, I wont even set foot in Margate any more and I live here, I certainly wouldn`t want to holiday there ¬No Dreamland,and everywhere looking derelict.<br />I say good job to a buissness wanting to expand & try to help the area.Farmers are giving up land. The planning application looks like a good countryfied plan with no concrete or housing!local campernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-71819165227563050082009-05-22T16:05:40.383+01:002009-05-22T16:05:40.383+01:00"Anonymous" Re:Two Chimneys
I was amazed..."Anonymous" Re:Two Chimneys<br />I was amazed to read the comments posted 18th March 23.06<br />I think the plans are a great idea it will help to encourage tourism in the area which is vital for the suppliers and businesses who will benefit from the increase revenue from the holiday makers. If they are not using local shops and facilities, where do you think they are going? <br />As a former holiday home owner at the Two Chimneys Caravan Park (I sold my caravan as there were not any facilities locally to take my children except the beach and you need sun for that also it is not very pleasant sitting amongst smelly seaweed!!and the area was becoming more & more run down)<br />I can assure you that the park is not open all year round, get your facts right!<br />You are coming across as a bitter person. <br />How many companies like this encourage tourism in the area and at least try to create jobs for people who desperatly need work<br />Maybe what you should do is drive along the coast and look at the boarded up and burnt out shops and businesses. Get a grip on reality or maybe you could come up with some ideas to re-market Margate!!! as you you seem to know it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-41304972646274788812009-05-21T02:09:37.803+01:002009-05-21T02:09:37.803+01:00I live in Westgate and I have to say Two Chimneys ...I live in Westgate and I have to say Two Chimneys is one of the best well maintained parks in the Thanet area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-18241237429363441932009-03-20T23:50:00.000+00:002009-03-20T23:50:00.000+00:00In regard to restoration, if needs be, you are abs...In regard to restoration, if needs be, you are absolutely right 10:37.<BR/><BR/>It is interesting that Prof. John Beddington, the Government's Chief Scientific Adviser addressed the 4th annual Sustainable Development UK conference in Westminster yesterday with dire warnings about food and water shortages on the Planet by 2030 with a population of 8.3 Billion. Food reserves are at their lowest in 50 years and price rises and shortages are inevitable with Europe having a role to play as a key centre for food production. Hence my concern about losing the most versatile of agricultural land in the UK, that we have in Thanet.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-46024259956869435342009-03-20T10:37:00.000+00:002009-03-20T10:37:00.000+00:00I have no issue about this.

The woodland and lake may provide an interesting opportunity for wildlife.

As I drive around Thanet I become increasingly amazed at how much development has taken place over the past few years, houses crammed in together as tightly as permissible, (which with the current planning regime is very tight indeed). Every small piece of green seems to be replaced with concrete. But then our developer friends do pay handsomely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-61255034846817163982009-03-19T13:24:00.000+00:002009-03-19T13:24:00.000+00:00Personally I think that ALL golf courses are a was...Personally I think that ALL golf courses are a waste of land, though I'm sure I'd feel different if I played the game (I'd much rather parks, commons, nature reserves, etc). But otherwise I don't see nothing wrong with this, & (contrary to what anon 23:06 says), people who stay on caravan sites DO usually venture outside. Unfortunately (like most villages these days) I don't think there actually are any shops in Acol, only a pub.Peter Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06283534498743254609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-88312390115045697612009-03-19T12:22:00.000+00:002009-03-19T12:22:00.000+00:00I expect they will do what they want as always.Put...I expect they will do what they want as always.<BR/><BR/>Put up screen of hedgerow - done five years late after council perstering and still not adequate.<BR/><BR/>Close site for part of year - residents live there all the year round!<BR/><BR/>Signs go up and down like a yoyo making the corner look horrible.<BR/><BR/>This place is now like a village which contributes nothing to the towns around it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-67204805954495574752009-03-19T09:12:00.000+00:002009-03-19T09:12:00.000+00:00Meanwhile, they will build it.Meanwhile, they will build it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-11250566117448388952009-03-19T07:03:00.000+00:002009-03-19T07:03:00.000+00:00i would imagine it wil sit in a planning apllicati...i would imagine it wil sit in a planning apllication pile for years.Head, SMEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08065972461608526811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-72192798920299345972009-03-18T23:31:00.000+00:002009-03-18T23:31:00.000+00:00We were waiting for you to pick this one up Bertie...We were waiting for you to pick this one up Bertie!Everything seems to be allowed in this area of Thanet!?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-25722203500128911052009-03-18T23:06:00.000+00:002009-03-18T23:06:00.000+00:00With all the fuss being mad about prime agricultur...With all the fuss being mad about prime agricultural land being deveoped, this has got to be opposed!<BR/><BR/>The Two Chimneys site is an eyesore from two directions, and a car park from the third, with camper vans on winter storeage.<BR/><BR/>This plan is to make them money.
