I am appalled that this planning application is even being considered by the Directorate given the flawed business model presented by RSP with its over optimistic projections and inaccurate data coupled with Manstons farsical history as a freight airport Should however their operational projections be anywhere near correct then the damage
to this town particularly in regard to noise and disruption would be terrible. I live directly on the flight path care for my 92 year old mother in law who has [Redacted] when the airport was previously operating it caused her great distress and given that RSP epropose a 'worst case scenario' of 17,100 ATM's a year with nor any proposed cap on night flights which is when most UK air freight lands, the impact upon health and well being will be tremendous given that their noiseless level predictions are so flawed and inaccurate. I urge the Directorate to give great scrutiny to all the data supplied and claims made by RSP in the hope that this debacle can be brought to a sane conclusion .
