Compared with Image, at last the reason for the construction of the blue walking gates has been revealed. They are to provide a new pedestrian and cyclist route, as the former Image and it is in use. Planning permission was granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/16/00308 for the “removal of part of quay wall to facilitate the creation of a new navigation channel between Wellington Dock and the Harbour and installation of a new retaining structure to close existing access between the Tidal Basin and Wellington Dock”. Planning permission was also granted by Dover District Council, under application number DOV/16/01305, for the “modification of legal agreement (under S.106 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990) to planning permission DOV/98/00334, to allow for the removal of 20 off-street residents parking spaces (to facilitate [a] navigational cut between Dover Harbour and Wellington Dock under the Dover Western Docks Revival Scheme).
