Petition

She's not wrong, @Martin Batchelor Here is just one example. http://clipgate.co.uk/air_strip.htm

Hello Martin, as has already been pointed out, you can already join your friends, whenever you choose.

@Jelly tots Looking at the planning website there are way more for the proposal than against.

@Martin Batchelor well not everyone has a computer, hence why we also have a petition, also, now this is the thing here, and quite laughable, the majority of the supporters are, wait for it...PILOTS..who...I repeat..who do not live anywhere near Kent or Little Mongeham, or surrounding areas, in fact, the majority of the supporters come from Scotland, France, Canada and further afield, so, let's bin the majority of the supporters 😉 the developers ( pilots) are desperate, begging pilots from all over the UK to support it, but fortunately there is a few pilots out there that say NO, I will not support this application as it flies over lots and lots of houses on take off and landing...quality dear Martin, not quantity 😉

So the facts of your opposition boil down to not in my back yard? My friend is fortunate enough to own a farm with enough room for a runway in his back yard. Over 20 years s with no complaints from neighbours. I’m biased because I love aviation but even without that it is falling that a few well off people wish to control the skies in their area and dress it up as concern for the environment. 🤔

@davidbkr3 pleeeese...you really have no idea do you...20 hobbyist...up against 500 plus residents...flying over peoples houses every minute of a sunny day...I personally have no time for you or your flying hobby...atm, my family and I are now sitting in our beautiful back garden, having a glass of fine wine listening to the birds...good evening to you Sir..

His back yard is the living room for many hundreds of people. But thanks for your interest.

@davidbkr3 let me think,...being chocked by lead fumes or people like our sons and daughters living in a house in the country...mmm difficult one that 🤔

No. However should he be progressive enough to change it to a wildlife haven, I would. But thanks for asking.
