(1) That the applicant has avoided or failed to conduct necessary scope of Environmental Impact Study. Meaning Precautionary Principle, Public Health Impact, Epidemiology, Cumulative Impact Assessment.
(2) My point at (1) also applies to all other applicants to Thanet District Council (TDC) including the current owners of Manston.
(3) I have notified TDC and Chief constable that TDC seem to have left me no option but to seek Judicial Review of TDC listing Chief constable as an Interested Party. With a view to obtaining a Judicial Mandatory Order compelling TDC to comply with statutory duties in Environmental Protection and Public Health Well Being Promotion law. IE To seek to compel TDC to conduct statutory duties that they also delegate to applicants (to ignore ?)
(4) The (Cumulative) environmental hazards questions I cite are GEC Transformer Oils disposal at Westwood and Pegwell Nature Reserve. Toxic Firefighting Foam legacy Manston. Thor WMD Mercury and mixed solvents still under remediation, Sericol contamination of water supply. Manston run off complaints re Pegwell made 1990s. Mercury finds at North Foreland effluent outfall by Friends of the Earth and TDC refusal to investigate.
(5) Project Nemo (National Planning) was subject I understand to standard advice for crossing a former landfill but no specific and requisite report was made to applicant or National Planning of evidence/reports that the landfill holds tonnes of toxic PCB laden transformer oils.
(6) Precautionary Principle and Cumulative Effect Assessment law are precisely aimed at the situation that now exists in the Manston application.
