2017 Consultation




Suite of Consultation Documents

As part of the statutory consultation under section 47 of the Planning Act 2008 a suite of consultation documents relating to the proposal to reopen Manston Airport is available to the public. Together these documents give an overview of the development proposals including information on the potential benefits and impacts of the Project, environmental considerations and the business case. The documents also provide further information on the consultation process and enable the public to submit their feedback.

This consultation also forms part of RiverOak's initial engagement on the design of airspace and procedures associated with the airport. As such it is an opportunity for members of the community to highlight any factors which they believe RiverOak should take into account during that design phase. Having taken all such factors into account, the subsequent proposals for flightpaths and airspace will be subject to a separate round of consultation once the DCO application has been made.

The suite of consultation documents includes:

a Consultation Leaflet giving an overview of the proposals and details of where more information about the Project can be found;

a Feedback Form in order to collect responses to the consultation;

an Overview Report giving a summary of the proposals including the potential benefits and impacts of the Project, how we propose to mitigate against potential impacts, and a non-technical summary of the Preliminary

Environmental Information Report (PEIR);

a Preliminary Environmental Information Report (PEIR); containing preliminary information on the likely environmental effects of our proposals as we have ascertained them so far, including noise, transport and air quality, and how we propose to minimise these effects, as well as how we propose to maximise the benefits of the Project;

a draft Masterplan for Manston Airport;

Manston Airport - a Regional and National Asset, Volumes I-IV; an analysis of air freight capacity limitations and constraints in the South East and Manston's ability to address these and provide for future growth;

an Outline Business Case;

a Statement of Community Consultation;

a Location Plan; and

an Interim Consultation Report, setting out the details of the first stage of consultation and how feedback received has been used to help develop the proposals.

This Preliminary Environmental Information Report has been prepared pursuant to the Infrastructure Planning

(Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2009, as amended.
