Dear Planning Inspectorate, I am writing to you as I have grave concerns over the proposed development at Manston Airport. I have lived in Thanet all my life, and in the flight path for about 22 years. I also have two, long term medical conditions [Redacted] and [Redacted] in my shoulder. I know only too well the level of disruption the previous airport caused however, previously, even when Manston was under the MOD or for domestic use, flights were few and far between and although loud and disruptive it was a rare event, and actually quite a sceptical. But, the proposed development plan for cargo flights throughout the day and night will have a negative impact on all Thanet residence but especially for us in Ramsgate. I would like you to look into the impact on peoples health. I need regular rest and sleep, and fear that this will not be achieved if the airport is given the go ahead. I have discussed this with my medical team and they agree that this development will have a negative impact on my health.
Yours sincerely,
Sarah-jayne Benfield
