Not entirely sure of the antecedents of the name, any ideas Michael?<br /><br />Looks like of site owners are offering a carrot and stick approach to TDC, but I would guess that a development of this scale and type on a brownfield site would eventually get the ok from central government even if TDC initially say no. <br /><br />Does 2500 homes on the airport site mean 2500 houses are not needed on greenbelt land...<br /><br />Presumably in the short term the focus will be on the change of use applications for the existing buildings at Manston Airport/Stone Hill Park.<br /><br />Still no sign of the PWC report, perhaps the DfT are sitting on it until it's only of academic interest..<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Echo Beachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04904635829161475902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-21426019769573972622015-06-16T23:46:20.895+01:002015-06-16T23:46:20.895+01:00The lack of comment about the housing is surprisin...The lack of comment about the housing is surprising, until you speak to people who would have to play a role in reopening the airport. Virtually everyone I speak to in private tells me that it won't/can't reopen and that the politicians are continuing to play politics with it long after the election. If you don't think it's really going to reopen you aren't going to bother objecting when a load of houses get built in the area where the safety zone would be. One thing is for certain. Once planning permission is given for those houses, the airport's never coming back.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06415123501568769405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-59760832529047518422015-06-16T18:48:48.404+01:002015-06-16T18:48:48.404+01:00Michael
