Forget that one the LORRY park is just that, and you would be locked out it is just opposite the Customs compound on the right of the access road. The sea front is still OK but not the Flats area.Motorhome and Caravan Parking is permitted on the Esplanade. That is the end of Marine Parade furthest away from the Ferry terminal. There are signs there showing this. The other end of Marine Parade near the Hotel and The Gateway Flats has never been a permitted area. I wrote to the council when the consultation was announced and they confirmed this would remain the same.
The laybys on the A2 approaching or leaving Dover have all been closed off. There is now a sign for lorry parking neat Tesco.
I have another tack on this via my neighbour who will almost certainly be on the council after the elections. The other site you mentioned is on the Folkestone Road and still belongs to Eurotunnel so fat chance there. I will again try the DHB via the community Director on the board and see if that will work.Give it another try. I wrote to the DHB and they didn't bother to reply to a request about Motorhome Parking.
I also saw a comment on another forum or was it a magazine about an area that was used by the construction team to build the Tunnel. It is apparently standing unused and could make a good Aire. Do you have any info on that.
Sorry to bump this, but is this the location you can park overnight?

Don't bother, just go over and park on the other side, cite Europe, grave lines, or Calais town, fresh and ready to be off next morning
