New planning applications include a long-awaited bid to demolish a seafront eyesore and replace it with flats and a space for businesses.

Canterbury City Council has applied to bulldoze the former Tivoli arcade in Herne Bay and construct a multi-storey block in its place.

The application for the site on Central Parade is for a four-storey building, complete with six flats and commercial space on the ground floor.

Four of the apartments will have two bedrooms, while the other two will have three bedrooms, official papers say.

In Canterbury, the council is reviewing proposals to extend a riverside path along the River Stour.

The existing walkway currently extends as far east as Vauxhall Avenue, but applicants hope to augment this to connect it to Vauxhall Road with a 28m bridge across the river.

This forms part of a long-term project to ultimately to create a cycle route all the way to Herne Bay.

Single-storey and first-floor extensions are proposed at properties on Oxford Street, Whitstable, and Central Parade, Herne Bay.

Listed building consent has been sought for a house on Palace Street, Canterbury, for internal and external alterations, including new flooring, a lowered ceiling and enhancements to chimneys.
