I have lived at [Redacted] Ramsgate for 24 years. The area is St Lawrence which is on the direct flight path in and out of Manston airport on the Ramsgate side of Manston.I do not want a cargo plane airport at Manston because of the following reasons. I have had experienced the airport with cargo planes in the past.During this time there was many times when cargo flights went out early in the morning 0600-0800hrs and late at night 2100-2300hrs. During these times I was awoken by the loud noise coming from the cargo planes.Sometimes the noise was loud enough to shake the house. During this time when out in my garden the noise was even louder and also you could smell the gasoline from the aircraft from the air after they had gone pass the house.Visually you could see the vapor coming out of the plane engines. I suffer from [Redacted] and this type of environment did not help my condition. I very much hope that in the future this situation does occur again. My health must come first over a cargo plane airport at Manston.
