Please register & comment on the link below for the planning application to convert 20 Cliff Terrace (former Simply Danish shop) from commercial premises to residential. We must not lose this thriving commercial strip in our neighbourhood #Cliftonville

Look at the devastation @ThanetCouncil has caused to habitats of nesting birds. These hedges were our heritage and won't recover. Join us to express anger June 8 at 11am #MargateWinterGardens @bbcsoutheast #SaveOurTrees #ConservationNotDevastation

It wasn’t the best frontage anyway but this is a missed opportunity to replace it with something that befits a potentially beautiful #conservation area. #margate #cliftonville

[Cliftonville Conservation Group @CT9conservation]

The #CliftonvilleConservationArea has lost another timber-framed shop front, at 112 Northdown Road (Papa's). It’s been replaced with a bright orange, metal framed window. This is an unauthorised alteration so we have reported it to the TDC enforcement so they can take action.

With 70+ high streets designated as at-risk conservation areas in their own right, we urge local authorities use this new funding from @HistoricEngland to help regenerate the high street with community support https://t.co/UkxbqS5CW5 @Laura_Sandys @ianmichharvey @HE_ChiefExec

Glad we’ve been mentioned I put a lot of time and effort into supporting this idea since I moved to Margate this is very close to my heart - to turn this into a public realm where all can access a #palaceforthepeople is the only way thanks to all 🙏

[Cliftonville Conservation Group @CT9conservation]

Interesting article on #historic properties in this months @margatemercury we just wish @ThanetCouncil would write to residents with info on our beautiful #ConservationAreas, and explain the rules for #Cliftonville

[GRASS Cliftonville @GRASSct9]

If you wish to comment on the lack of parking for the proposed x15 new flats at the back of Bugsy’s Bowling on Edgar Rd #Cliftonville please use the attached link. (Only x5 parking spaces are being provided for the x15 flats) https://t.co/fq0S8fpRp7

@ThanetCouncil are you applying for this fund? The #nothdownroad in #Cliftonville could well benefit from this, also the Hight Street in #Margate

Councils to bid for share of £675m fund to invigorate UK high streets ⁦@artistsmakers⁩ #emptyshops https://t.co/OljVqeXT37

[Empty Shops Network @emptyshops]

While we'd agree with retail to residential - it has to be done with strategic intent, eg to condense a retail area. On Northdown Road it's happening on ad hoc basis, breaking shopping line and damaging viability of other businesses.

[Cliftonville Conservation Group @CT9conservation]

TDC planning enforcement has confirmed that without article 4 directives in place they are unable to ensure this wall is reinstated through the planning process. #cliftonville #conservationarea #heritage

[Cliftonville Conservation Group @CT9conservation]

Very sad to see an beautiful Italianate wall on Edgar Rd replaced with breeze blocks. #Cliftonville #ConservationArea #Heritage #Renovation #restoration

Council called in following removal of ‘historically valuable’ shopfront in Northdown Road - https://t.co/JhrtkigRDi

@terryshale Previous schemes have shown the pool as a garden, and there’s also the issue of ownership, as the pool is not owned ty the people who have the main building.

[Cliftonville Conservation Group @CT9conservation]

Those dreaded words "The provision of new apartments makes the project viable." No mention of the #lido pool, part of the spa hotel maybe? Hopefully we’ll see the detailed proposals soon! #Cliftonville
