Residents fear plans for more beach huts will "decimate" their historic village- which has remained unchanged “since Victorian days.”
Dover District Council (DDC) wants to add 33 more huts to Kingsdown, Kent, where 23 of the wooden sheds are already in place.
But residents say the area, which has a number of narrow roads, will not be able to cope with the extra cars from visitors heading to the seafront.
About 100 neighbours attended a public meeting at their village hall last week to discuss the proposal, which is set to cost £130,000.

00:00My concern is that this is a very iconic view and a very special village that has been like this
00:09since Victorian days and that there is not room for the traffic or all these things that will
00:19go with it if they put in so many extra huts. On an August weekend it's almost impossible to
00:27park down there and they park all over the village and I think become a danger to
00:33other people who are walking and possibly emergency services.
