Out in the harbour, the upright piles will eventually be integrated into a marina curve, for which planning permission was granted by Dover District Council under application number DOV/15/01254 for the “reduction of ramps to either end of sheet pile section and construction of cargo berths and marina curve, to be attached to masonry section”. The ramps, which the planning application refers to, formed part of the Prince of Wales Pier.
There is also a crane-barge, loaded with piles, with a pile-driver attached to the end of its jib driving a pile into the seabed. To the right of the crane-barge, very near to the Prince of Wales Pier TR3240, is the hopper barge Wadden 1 and to her right, the dredger Kreeft. Nearer to the beach, there is another dredger.

TR3140 : Dover Western Docks The view hasnt changed much in 20 years - except for the lack of ferries or hovercrafts sadly.
I guess the Chunnel has had a big effect on Dover Western - a previous post in the last week or so mentioned ferries no longer run from Folkestone now.
Glad to see the lighthouse cafe still there in the centre - at least that's safer from passing ferries now :)
