It’s currently in the hands of the council as there is a backlog but any news or developments will be posted here.

Thankyou fir the info but as far as the m aware the pilots involved with this project fly bush craft and vintage so are unlikely to use the fuel you’ve described. And as for agricultural equipment it isn’t used regularly only when the field is planted occasionally sprayed then when harvested. Unfortunately the hobby pilots will be flying much more frequently than that so will undoubtedly cause more harm to our environment. Not trying to pick an argument just trying to point out the difference between expected occasionally farm traffic and recreation flying purely for a hobby.

We already have a small grass airstrip less than a mile and a half away so there is no need/urgency to have another here. More than 11 strips already between Headcorn and here more than in the whole of Sussex so again no need for another but Thankyou for your input. Do silencers remove the lead fumes from your planes??

Martin clearly lives under a rock as all the pilots are currently continuing with their hobby from lots of other airstrips already in use in Kent and can join them anytime he’d like to... why wait?

Clearly not maintenance already proving they can’t be trusted

Well she is working for free you can’t expect to much

@Jelly tots I hear there has been lots of positive reactions for the campaign in and around the local villages. it’s good that from a hideous situation some good will come of it. Bringing a community together to fight a common enemy 😊

@Jelly tots exactly the local residents have been hounded mocked and shown nothing but disrespect i for one am sick to the back teeth of these bully boys. So many people making comments on something that will not affect them and will in a few weeks move on to something else while local residents are left with a life time of disruption. All for what ? So a few pilots can indulge in a noisy antisocial hobby!! Selfish

@Ross McKillop yawn

@Ross McKillop i didnt even bother ready all that ... horses don’t cause noise pollution!!!!!

😡😡😡

@WWWoo sorry I was replying to davids post obviously against the years of noise and disruption that would be caused by light aircraft

Thankyou David this may be useful information to have surl local council should encourage this type of application as it’s minimal impact on local residents and reject the small town proposals with hundreds of dwellings. I bet they didn’t get hundreds of people opposing the application? Sorry looks like my comment was misunderstood I was referring to the proposal for two small bungalows NOT the hideous airstrip!!! Definitely against the massive imposition of 30 plus planes, hangers and additional traffic which this would inevitably generate

@Paul Osborne I’m with you, don’t buy the amazing silent planes that won’t be noticeable. Have to disagree with Rugger, we might live in the country but we aren’t bumpkins,

@Rugger so you say silent landing but they will inevitably make noise when taking off, banking, climbing, flying overhead and when being serviced or having routine maintenance .

So not practical at all then 😤

@Keith Jones forgive me if I’m wrong but isn’t an activist someone campaigning to bring about political or social change? I think the people your are referring to are local residents just trying to protect and preserve their current way of life. They have not gone looking to start an argument but are just trying to understand why 20 pilots and a land owner think they can do what ever they like regardless of the opinion of hundreds of local residents.

@Keith Jones we find it strange that people who are for it aren’t local and it will have no affect on their daily lives??
