Respond to the local plan TODAY!
YOU are invited to comment on the draft local plan. If you want to keep the Manston Airport for aviation use please email: local.plans@thanet.gov.uk!
You can also CC other important decision makers, including:
- cllr-iris.johnston@thanet.gov.uk
- cllr-richard.nicholson@thanet.gov.uk
- madeline.homer@thanet.gov.uk
- paul.carter@kent.gov.uk
Your response should insist that:
- All 700+ acres of the Manston site to remain for aviation use only.
- No mixed development or housing, even on the Northern Grassland.
- No renaming or rezoning of the area as a general opportunity site, or anything else that could jeopardise the airport’s future as an aviation site.
We have also arranged a public meeting regarding the emerging Thanet Local Plan. This will be a chance for you, our supporters, to come and provide views to members of the planning department of Thanet District Council regarding the draft local plan – particularly in regard to Manston Airport. Planning officers from TDC will give a presentation followed by a Q & A session, and then you will have a chance to make your comments about the local plan.
It will be held on Thursday 15th January and all supporters of Manston Airport are welcome. It will begin at 19:00 at the Northwood Club, 55 Northwood Road, Ramsgate CT12 6RS. There will be plenty of parking and a bus stop is nearby.
Together, we will say YES to aviation for Thanet and NO to another mixed use development. YOU can make the difference TODAY.
The proposed Local Plan, until the official site is launched, can be viewed here.
