Dover was a short 1943 film produced by the British Ministry of Information. It concerns the town of Dover, the most likely "frontline" in any potential German invasion and how it had persevered since 1940.
The film, which stars Edward R. Murrow, opens with a look back at the circumstances of mid-1940, how the British had arrived there after Dunkirk, the continuous air raids during the battle of Britain, and the stoicism of the people as they prepared to "die with their boots on" when the invasion came. Now, two years later, Dover is still the front line, but not for defence, for offence. RAF planes control the skies and more Allied sorties are flown over German targets than German raids on Britain. The people have stoically and bravely gone on with their normal lives, while helping the war effort; most of the men are in the forces, while the women man the anti-aircraft guns. The film ends with the narrator promising that someday soon, barges will leave Britain's shore to liberate Europe.
The northern boundary of the district is the River Stour; on its western side is the district of Canterbury; to the south the parish of Capel-le-Ferne; and to the east the Straits of Dover. The southern part of the latter is the point where the North Downs meets the sea, at the so-called ‘White cliffs of Dover’. Further north along the coast, from Deal onwards, the land is at sea level, where the River Stour enters the sea by a circuitous route. It is here, on the sand-dunes, that the Royal St George's Golf Club, founded in 1887, and of international repute, is situated.
In the district are industrial remains of the erstwhile Kent coalfield, situated around Tilmanstone and Betteshanger. Technically speaking, half of the underwater section of the Channel Tunnel is under British Sovereignty and thus part of the district.
James Joner purchased 203 acres (0.82km2) in 1764 and laid out the town of Dover. It was known as Jonerstown until 1815, when it was officially called Dover.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 0.5 square miles (1.3km2), all of it land.
Demographics
As of the census of 2000, there were 1,815 people, 770 households, and 489 families residing in the borough. The population density was 3,623.6 people per square mile (1,401.6/km2). There were 790 housing units at an average density of 1,577.2 per square mile (610.0/km2). The racial makeup of the borough was 96.47% White, 1.05% African American, 0.39% Native American, 0.83% Asian, 0.72% from other races, and 0.55% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 1.43% of the population.
Located about 15 miles (24km) southwest of downtown Boston, Dover is a residential town nestled on the south banks of the Charles River. Almost all of the residential zoning requires 1-acre (4,000m2) or larger. As recently as the early 1960s, 75% of its annual town budget was allocated to snow removal, as only a mile and a half of the town's roads are state highway.
Dover is bordered by: Natick, Wellesley and Needham to the North, Westwood to the East, Walpole and Medfield to the South, Sherborn to the West.
The first recorded settlement of Dover was in 1640. It was later established as the Springfield Parish of Dedham in 1748, and incorporated as District Dedham in 1784. Dover was officially incorporated as a town in 1836.

On appeal from the Court of Appeal Civil Division (England and Wales)
The issue in this case is the correct legal standard to be applied in assessing the adequacy of reasons provided by local planning authorities when granting planning permission.
China Gateway International Ltd applied to Dover District Council for planning permission for a large-scale residential development in an area of outstanding natural beauty ("AONB"). The planning committee granted permission contrary to their planning officer’s recommendations. The Respondent brought a claim for judicial review of the decision inter alia on grounds that the planning committee had not provided adequate reasons for its decision. The claim was dismissed at first instances but allowed on appeal. In this appeal to the Supreme Court it was not in dispute that the council was in breach of a specific requirement under the Town and County Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2011 (“the EIA Regulations”) to provide a statement of “the main reasons and considerations” on which the decision was based. The issue is whether the Court of Appeal was right to quash the decision on that basis.
The Supreme Court unanimously dismisses the appeal. The Court rejects Dover District Council’s argument that a breach of the Environmental Impact Assessment duty alone should be remedied by a mere declaration of the breach. The quashing order of the Court of Appeal is consequently affirmed.
