Shepway Planning Officers recommend rejection of Lydd Airport (LAA) applications
The full report from Shepway Council on the planning applications at Lydd Airport and the recommendations of the Council Officers in light of the report have now been released on the Shepway Council web site.
The council have recommended rejection of both applications saying the proposals "will result in significant adverse effects on the integrity of the Dungeness Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Dungeness to Pett Level Special Protection Area (SPA), including uncertainty about some of the effects." and "will result in significant adverse effects on the Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Dungeness National Nature Reserve" [
