No Government policy statement has said the UK needs a new freight airport. The Department for Transport does not predict any growth in the number of freight flights. Therefore, the application must establish a clear and compelling case of need in the national interest if it is to be granted a DCO. This it fails to do.

There is no financially credible case for this project.

The potential human impact including, noise, air quality, polluted air dumping on residential and marina would be huge.

Detrimental impact on Ramsgate heritage.

Detrimental impact on traffic.

Detrimental impact on safety due to the above.
