SAY NO WAY TO THIS APA (AIRSTRIP PLANNING APPLICATION)
Please read this.
A formal planning application for an airstrip on the land between Willow Woods Road, Little Mongeham and Mill Lane / Coulson Grove, Northbourne has been submitted to DDC.
The application includes a runway, helipad, 2 aircraft hangars for 20 aircraft, flight office and wc, workshop / plant storage building, 10 glamping pods, associated parking and a vehicular access track.
IMPORTANT!
The impact this application will have
on the area's countryside, local businesses and hundreds of residents will be considerable, so please lobby
your MP, District Councillors and Parish Council if you wish to object to it.

Good News!
Yesterday the consultancy appointed by DDC Environmental Health to assess the noise implications of the proposed airfield published their report which concluded that the proposals are likely to result in a loss of amenity for local residents and result in adverse effects on health and quality of life. They further concluded that there would also be an impact on the noted tranquillity of the area (something which planning policy requires DDC to ensure is preserved and enhanced).
This is a very major setback for the applicant! read more...
