Homes and a micropub could be built at the old Dane Valley Arms site.
KSD Group Ltd & Coldunell Ltd are asking for permission to create 10
flats, seven houses, ground floor micropub and associated parking at the
site in Dane Valley Road.
The pub was demolished in December 2016 after Thanet council served
notice due to its unsafe condition.
The development proposal provides a mix of family houses and
self-contained flats and there will be discussions for a Housing
Association to take on long term use of the units.
Documents submitted with the application state: “The ground floor corner
of the block of flats will provide a new micropub to serve the
community. The main entrance will be facing Arlington Gardens but large,
full height glazing has been included on both aspects of the building
within the micro pub. A basement area will be dug into the ground to
provide storage facilities associated with the running of the facility.”
Dane Valley councillor Gary Hillman said: “We fought to have the DVA
demolished and welcome any new developments that enhance the area. It
will be up to residents and planning committee to decide if this has the
right combination.”
A decision has not yet been made.
