Planning permission was refused by Dover District Council under application number DOV/16/00626 for a “change of use of land and erection of a building to be used as a water bottling plant to include storage and offices, with new vehicular access, parking and turning areas and associated landscaping (existing buildings to be demolished)”. The existing buildings, which would have had to be demolished, are those of Ringwould Alpine Nursery Image, situated on Dover Road (A256), to make way for a new road from the A256 to the bottling plant. The council cited that the bottling plant would result in disturbance to householders, along the A256, overlooking the site from their back gardens, with regard to noise and lights caused by vehicles entering and leaving the site. A major consideration for refusal was that the site lies in the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. A footpath runs from the A256, through the trees on the right, to emerge onto and cross farmland towards Oxyneybottom Wood.
