Managers at Lydd Airport (also known as London Ashford Airport) will now press ahead with upgrading the site on Romney Marsh. The ?25million investment plans include the construction of a 294m runway extension plus a 150m starter extension, and a new terminal building capable of handling up to 500,000 passengers a year.
The airport?s owners have already spent ?35million over the past decade in modernising the airport and will ?now seek a meeting with Shepway District Council planners to begin the process of ensuring that the pre-commencement conditions are discharged, including environmental, noise, traffic and other conditions already agreed as part of the approval.?
