Manston has an ideal location for an airport, where approaches can be made over the sea and being the highest point in Thanet does not suffer from fog or poor visibility. The rail connections can easily be made to London using High Speed Rail and road infrastructure has already been improved to the M2. Any alternative to occupy the land for more housing could not be supported by existing Hospitals, Doctors, Schools, Roads and particularly Employment. To provide permanent jobs in an area of poor opportunity and EU recognised deprivation is far more important than housing development that would only exacerbate the existing critical economic situation.
