I oppose these plans due to the excessive noise, inconvenience and traffic problems that will accompany these proposals. This number of flights on a 24/7 basis will turn this peaceful part of our country into a noisy messy and congested nightmare. These planes will be taking off and landing throughout the day and even worst throughout the night, leaving their fumes and emissions behind them for us to live with and breath in!! The increase in traffic, presumably mainly heavy lorries will have a detrimental effect on the local area creating added congestion and pollution, the roads in this area are not up to a large increase in lorry traffic, the infrastructure is just not in place. No doubt the increase in air traffic and pollution will also have a detrimental effect on the wildlife in this area especially the pegwell bay nature reserve with its wealth of warbirds and waders. This airport is not wanted and not needed in this area.
