Planning Department NOTICE

in Say no to Mongeham airfield!

Airstrip planning no. 21/00340 | Screening opinion - proposed creation of an airfield, ancillary buildings and glamping pods | Manor Farm Willow Woods Road Little Mongeham Deal Kent CT14 0HR

I just went on here this morning to register my objections, but this is what it says:

'The consultation period for this application has ended. Comments that have been submitted may be viewed within the list of documents for this application.'

I should like to know when the consultation period began? NO ONE knew of the plans until last Friday 16/04/21!!! Where were the notices? Where was the public consultation?

The planning states: There is no EIA (Environmental Impact Assessment) required

HOW CAN THAT BE???

It is terrifyingly close the situation Arthur Dent was presented with in the opening chapter of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

“But the plans were on display…” “On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.” “That’s the display department.” “With a flashlight.” “Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.” “So had the stairs.” “But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?” “Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
