Thanet is in desperate need of real work, this plan offers hope to the future of Thanet, and I can only support the development. It is well documented that the airport has failed a number of times, the main reason for the failure was lack of investment. It had remained the same almost since the end of when it was an RAF base. With the right investment & more importantly the best business model, then only good things can happen with it remaining an airport. With Brexit happening, we need vital airspace, which the SE of England has serious issues with. Whilst Heathrow may get their 3rd runway, that will take many years to achieve, we have on our doorstep a quick fix solution to this. The DCO must be allowed to happen if we are ever to trade with more counties further afield than the EU
