Planning permission has been granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/14/00241 for the “minor demolition, and refurbishment/conversion of the Old Workhouse to provide 10 residential units; alterations and conversion of Tewkesbury House and the former Chapel to provide for community and employment space; reinstatement of the former Range building to provide a two storey terrace of 10 residential units (amended description and plans)”. The development has caused concerns about the effects of an increase in traffic to which Eastry Parish Council has raised an objection in its comments about the application. There have been seven responses from members of the public of which one was in support, one was neutral and five objected. This Image is not the Tewkesbury House referred to in the application.
