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.
What do you think about it? Do you want it? Tell us here.
The two images below show the application plan and the result of work undertaken on behalf of Mr. Richard Ledger on his land relating to the proposed airfield. This work was publicly described as "routine farm maintenance" by the applicant's agent in the recent public Zoom meeting. We leave it to you to arrive at your own conclusions.
I hope this works for you. I've made an animated gif that shows the new track overlayed on a satellite image of the farm.
It clearly shows that the start and end of the track go through existing hedges & trees.
P.S. I've always wanted to have the opportunity to create and animated gif.
Don't forget.......the agent also said that the trees and hedges you can see don't exist
