New plans for Folkestone Harbour in Kent have sparked outrage among locals who hate the latest designs. 3 Locals say this building looks like something out of The Flintstones Credit: Folkestone Harbour and Seafront Development Company 3 They are worried the 'heroically ugly' building will ruin the seafront Credit: Folkestone Harbour and Seafront Development Company Planning permission had already been granted to the developer, Folkestone and Hythe Seafront Development Company (FHSDC) in 2015. But homeowners have blasted the company for dramatically changing the designs of the proposed 720 to 1,000 homes. FHSDC saw their amended plans approved once again in 2018 - but now residents are rebelling. Members of the Legends of Folkestone Facebook page have banded together and kick-started their own campaign against the development. Local Georgina Baker, who launched the petition, told KentOnline : 'The old designs took much more consideration into the area around it. 'The buildings were more subtle and so distant from the designs we're seeing now. 'They still looked too high, but aesthetically it was definitely an improvement on what we are now being shown. "They are so futuristic and out of place.' When company bosses started the process back in 2012, they said: "This outline plan is an important step towards realising a once-in-a-century opportunity to create a seafront of which Folkestone can be proud. 'The challenges are enormous but we are determined to get the formula right, even if this takes time.' However, Mark Hourahane, vice-chairman of the New Folkestone Society, favoured the original designs. He said the latest artistic impressions are 'alien to Folkestone", whereas the 2015 images 'were rather more in keeping'.
