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 an airstrip, 2 hangars, 20 light aeroplanes, 10 glamping pods and helicopter access.

Looks to me like it's the press that has emphasised and prioritised the electric charging point idea, whereas the applicant has included it as "and are also fitting a charging point". Don't you just love the press!
But, the electric planes thing may not be that much of a pipedream, the Norwegian Govt have stated they want all internal passenger flights to be electric by 2030. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20180814-norways-plan-for-a-fleet-of-electric-planes
You're welcome. You can have my advice (spelt correctly) for free. I don't charge.
It's possible that ex Maypole aircraft may want to relocate elsewhere, but not guaranteed.
P.S. International Radio procedure requires that "over" AND "out," are never used together, despite what you see in the movies. They mean different things.
