Winchelsea? Get higher- win, chel, short for Michelle, sea- resort. I'm still not convinced like.....

No, I'm not convinced either.

Hint: higher was a late modification, the original had 'bigger'.
familiar resort is a reference to a particular coastal town, as it usually expressed; e.g., Burton, rather than Burton-on-Trent, choosing an illustration that cannot apply here.

West Allerton?

Is Weston a common shortened name? I suspect not.

I've heard it referred to as just Weston often enough. The tourism website is "Love Weston", and uses both the full and truncated forms.

West Allerton is correct.

No wonder I was struggling with this one, I was working on the basis that the common shortened name was something like Tom, Sam or Pat and I seem to remember that you previously used "resort" to indicate an anagram. Oh well, I got there in the end.

Next clue:

Where Orville's partner lost his tweed

Could be Ore.

Yes, you are correct.
I was hoping I got the construct correct for my first homophone usage.
As I understand it, 'it is said' is an indicator for this.

Although, I am slightly disappointed, that I didn't get to use my pre planned answers:
Not this
And not this
think logically.
etc

Your floor

The clue type was so clear that Ore was my first thought.

West Brompton.

(as in West coast and Brompton is rootstock for plum tree)
Also fits West Malling for the same reason.
