The much need employment in Thanet. The historic and future value of an already existing airport facility. The much needed additional runway and flightpath for both freight and passenger services. The exceptionally long runway at Manston. The aquifer beneath Manston. The already overstretched infrastructure, hospital, GPs, roads within Thanet, schools, water, waste disposal, Victorian sewage system, Southern Water cannot cope now that additional housing would only exacerbate. The already below average wages in Thanet that will be kept low with thousands of additional houses without mass employment injection
