A former Homebase store could be transformed by a national homeware company.
The Honeywood Parkway site in Whitfield has been unused since the furniture and garden giant closed the store in October 2017, but a new planning application could see the large building brought back into use.
Lodged by TJ Morris, which trades under the name Home Bargains, the application requests the addition of forklift stores, a sprinkler tank and new cladding.
Parking provision will also be revised if the overhaul is given a green light by Dover District Council.
The planning application states: "The external alterations and site layout reconfiguration will ensure that a vacant retail unit can be brought back into beneficial use.
"The proposals seek to create an attractive retail unit, to be occupied by Home Bargains, which better reflects the requirements of modern retailers and customers alike.
"In doing so, the proposed development will deliver several significant benefits to the local economy and residents of Dover, including job creation and increased customer choice."
Following a decline in sales, Homebase was sold to Hilco - the owner of HMV - for £1 in May 2018, just months after the Whitfield store has closed by the gardenware chain's Australian owner Bunnings.
Meanwhile, Home Bargains, which was founded in 1976, has expanded rapidly since 2013 and now operates more than 450 stores across the country.
It recently placed sixth on Which?'s Top 100 stores list, the highest ranked discount retailer.

Warren Shute, certified financial planner and author of The Money Plan. Picture: Warren Shute.
During the course of our lifetime, most of us see more than £1m go through our account – sometimes a lot more.
Yet nobody teaches us how to manage that because we don’t have formal, compulsory financial education.
That means it’s up to parents, not schools, to teach children how to manage their money well, regardless of their own experiences or success with money.
Here are some of the things I do with my own kids to help them become money-smart.
Pocket money is the best way to get children in the right habits when it comes to managing money.
I have two great children and a pocket money system that helps them learn about money, which I outline in some detail in my book The Money Plan.
Firstly, their pocket money is linked to chores around the house such as putting the bins out, emptying the dishwasher and so on.
I think they need to understand that for most of us, money is earned, and effort is required to have it.
Secondly, their pocket money is set by how old they are: £2 for each year of their age, so they can see some progression.
And thirdly, to help them understand the value of money, as a general rule we buy their needs (school uniform, general clothing, meals etc), but we expect them to buy their wants: my daughter Bella loves making slime (!), so she orders things via Amazon; and my son Olly loves his Xbox, so he pays for his online subscri...
When I started this, I got into debt with my children as I don’t often have cash – not the message I was planning on giving!
I quickly changed this by automating payments directly on to their Osper Card each month. This is like a debit card for children, and is another way to help kids learn lessons they’ll use throughout their lives as adults.
My wife and I have a policing mechanism in place, which is that if our kids want to buy something that costs more than their age – so over £12 for my son at present – they have to check with their parents. That stops them buying rubbish unnecessarily.
They’re learning a skill, so we give them some free rein but at the same time we’re encouraging them to think about what they’re spending their money on.
We try to have them ask the same questions that are my mantra when it comes to adults taking control of their expenditure: do you really want it? Do you really need it? Can you buy it cheaper elsewhere?
And we’ll also encourage them to look around to find a better deal for the same item.
We’re trying to teach them the skills to manage their money properly, so that when they leave home and have to do these things themselves, they’re in a position to do so.
When my son gets a phone, we’ll increase his pocket money but he will be responsible for paying his phone bill.
He’ll have to make sure he’s managing his money to cover the phone as well as his other wants.
Slowly but surely, without it being boring, we’re teaching them money management. I recommend this to all the people I help too.
One of the key lessons here is to help your children understand the true value of money.
As adults, we can sometimes struggle to appreciate that ourselves, because it was never taught to us. Children are no different.
1. Whether you follow the pocket money system outlined above or something completely different, find a system which works, share it with them, keep it simple, and stick with it.
It really helps children understand what things cost and how ‘expensive’ in real terms some things are.
2. Personally, I don’t believe in paying for school grades, I think those are better left for encouraging self-discipline. But hey, what do I know, I’m on this journey of parenthood myself.
3. It can be interesting helping children buy gifts for their parents, siblings and/or friends, as they soon realise the cost of things.
Talk to them about money and explain how long you personally need to work to pay for these things. It’s also good for children to learn how much the weekly grocery shop costs.
4. Children, like adults, learn by osmosis. If we do the best we can as parents, they will pick up the things we share with them.
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump is going to hear firsthand from people affected by Hurricane Irma as he makes his third visit in less than three weeks to survey storm damage and recovery efforts.
For Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, the visit Thursday to Naples and Fort Myers on Florida’s southwestern coast offered the chance to see how people were coping and how the Federal Emergency Management Agency has responded.
“Historically there’s never been anything like this,” Trump told reporters before leaving the White House. “But the United States Coast Guard, FEMA, working along with Gov. (Rick) Scott, they’ve really done an amazing job,” adding that “power is being turned on rapidly,” he said.
Florida’s southwestern coast is a haven for retirees seeking warm weather and beautiful sunsets across the Gulf of Mexico. Many communities are still cleaning up or without power or air conditioning.
In Lee County, which includes Cape Coral and Fort Myers, the Florida Emergency Management Agency said 66 percent of the area’s 290,000 electrical customers were still without power Wednesday. Widespread outages led to long lines outside of the relatively few stores, gas stations and restaurants that had reopened.
As of Thursday morning, the number of homes and businesses without electricity in Florida was 2.69 million, according to the agency. That’s 25.6 percent of all customers in the state.
INDIANAPOLIS — Trevon Bluiett's Indianapolis swan song was one for the Indy native to remember.
INDIANAPOLIS – Trevon Bluiett's Indianapolis swan song was one for the Indy native to savor.
Xavier basketball was drawn into an overtime bout for the second consecutive game and Bluiett, a product of nearby Park Tudor School, scored 26 points and six in overtime against the Butler University Bulldogs to help Xavier surge to a 98-93 victory at Hinkle Fieldhouse Tuesday night.
Bluiett went for 20 of his 26 points in the second half and overtime to help spark a comeback after Xavier relinquished a seven-point lead with about a minute to play in regulation.
Come overtime, though, Bluiett (7 of 15) hit two field goals including a back-breaker 3-pointer to put the game out of reach once and for all.
"Trevon's game – I'm happy for him," Xavier head coach Chris Mack said afterward. "He's played here four times. The first three, I'm sure he'd love wipe from his memory in terms of his individual performance. For him to do it as a senior in front of his family, I'm sure he feels great about that."
Xavier bigs Kerem Kanter, a graduate transfer, and Sean O'Mara, a senior, also had big nights in a game where Tyrique Jones was unavailable due to a left-arm injury. Kanter finished with 22 points while O'Mara went for 14 points.
Freshman Naji Marshall made his presence known on the big road stage, too, as he went for 13 points. That included the opening salvo in overtime when he spotted up for three and drilled it.
Marshall's three-ball came after Butler had seemingly wrested momentum away from the Musketeers. The Bulldogs hit a flurry of late 3-pointers of their own to force overtime.
Xavier led by as many 18 in the first half, took a 10-point advantage into halftime but found itself trailing for long stretches of the second half as Butler led by as many as six midway through the period.
With the game tied at 66 with 6:41 to play, Xavier went on a 14-7 run through to the 1:41 mark. The run resulted mostly from free-throws, of which Xavier hit 24 on 28 attempts in the game.
But Butler senior guard Kelan Martin (34 points, 10 of 18 shooting) went off late, drilling all manner of deep looks to help knot the game in final minute and force the overtime session.
"For our guys to have the resilience to battle back after the gut punch we took down the stretch in regulation, I'm really proud of those guys. That's not easy to do," Mack said. "I thought our guys did a great job of not letting the moment in regulation spoil our hunger to win the game."
Martin was ably assisted with 17 points from Butler's Sean McDermott and 16 from Kamar Baldwin.
Marshall's 3-pointer at the start of the overtime restored Xavier confidence, Mack said.
Marshall and Bluiett scored six points apiece in overtime as the Musketeers won the overtime period, 14-9.
The win saw Xavier improve to 22-3 overall and 10-2 in Big East Conference play. The Musketeers next play at Creighton University on Saturday.
Butler fell to 17-8 overall and 7-5 in the Big East.
• Absent Tyrique Jones, Xavier's bigs answered the call in a huge way. A little extra pressure was placed on O'Mara and Kanter after Jones was ruled out of the game for an injury he sustained during Monday's practice. All Kanter and O'Mara did in response was combine to shoot 15 of 20 from the field for 36 points – a c...
Kanter also drilled a jumper in overtime.
Mack's design for the game was always to attack Butler with his bigs. The plan didn't change when Jones was ruled out even though a slow start by either Kanter or O'Mara could have rendered the plan ineffective.
Mack said he hopes to have Jones back for Saturday's game at Creighton but offered no further details.
• Marshall returned to the starting lineup against Butler and made it worth Mack's while. Bluiett finished with 26 points but had just six at halftime and didn't heat up until well into the second half. While Xavier waited for Bluiett to grow into the game, Marshall was a steady presence throughout.

HEAR’SAY TO TAKE TO THE FIELDS?
HEAR’SAY claim they want to play this year’s UK summer festivals.
Speaking to NME.COM, Danny from the band was unfazed by the prospect of an anti-Hear’say festival audience. Pop act Daphne & Celeste were bottled off when they played at Reading last year, and the group manufactured by the ‘Popstars’ TV show could face a similar crowd reaction.
Tuesday evening I went to a very pleasant Vista dinner with Microsoft and Best Buy execs. I heard a lot about Vista and how consumers now have a choice in the PC arena.
I was puzzled about all the talk of choice because Best Buy, and other retailers, only carry Vista PCs on their shelves. Where is my choice, is it to buy or not to buy?
I said that these days we don't need to choose, which is great.
My son runs Vista and Mac OS X on his laptop. I run Windows XP and Microsoft OS X on my laptop. Am I a Mac user or a Windows user? I'm both, I don't have to choose, I just choose applications and they run great on my laptop.
I don't have to have religion about Mac or Windows. That tedious 20 year plus argument has gone away, and I'm glad.
My Windows apps run great on my Mac thanks to Parallels, but I could use other virtualization software, and I could to run multiples OSes. And Microsoft still gets paid. Yet Microsoft people get upset about Apple, which I can't understand.
BTW, MSFT's chat with the media about Vista has nothing to do with Apple's imminent launch of its Leopard operating system this Friday, which looks awesome. It is coincidental timing, I was told, MSFT just wanted to tell us about what is new in retail PC land.
I did learn a couple of interesting things. Microsoft VPs will sometimes throw on a blue Best Buy employee shirt to talk to potential customers in Best Buy stores to gain some impromptu market research. They will throw on a red shirt in Circuit City stores . . .
