18471768.1 3 Introduction and Purpose

1.1 Purpose of Statement of Common Ground

1.1.1 This Statement of Common Ground (S0CG) is between the Applicant and Council (DDC) in relation to the application for a development consent order to re-open and operate Manston airport in the district of Thanet in (the ‘DCC’).

1.1.2 The Applicant submitted the DCC application to the Planning Inspectorate on 17 July 2018 and it was accepted for examination on 14 August 2018.

1.1.3 The Applicant and DDC are collectively referred to in this SoCG as ‘the parties’. The parties have been, and continue to be, in direct communication in respect of the interface between the application and DDC’s interests.

1.1.4 This SoCG has been prepared in response to the request for a SoCG between the parties made by the Planning Inspectorate at Annex F of its Rule 6 letter, dated 11 December 2018, and supplemented by the Rule 8 letter where an additional matter is set out at Annex B. The matters to be addressed are:

• The scope of work anticipated to ensure that the economic benefits of the Proposed Development for East Kent can be realised.

• The assessment of, and possible mitigation for, the landscape and visual impact of the proposals and alternatives from receptors located in the Dover district.

• The assessment of noise impacts on areas within Dover district and, in particular, the possible need for more detailed noise measurements for West Stourmouth.

• The choice of noise contours in relation to the draft Noise Mitigation Plan (APP-009). J • Noise, vibration and air quality impacts on local residents.

• The need for, and possible content of, a Development Consent Cbligation under si 74 of PA2008.

1.1.5 It is envisaged that this SoCG will evolve during the examination phase of the DCC application.

1.1.6 Subsequent drafts will be agreed and issued, with the version numbers clearly recorded in the ‘Document Control’ table at the beginning of the document.

1.2 Dover District Council

1.2.1 DDC is a neighbouring local authority to the area within which the development is located.

SoCGID Matter Date agreed .

3.1 The scope of work anticipated to ensure that the economic benefits of the Proposed Development for East Kent can be realised.

3.1 .1 The Applicant is intending to form a Local Employment Partnership Board (as with London Deadline 3 City Airport). This Partnership Board would consist of representatives from Dover District Council, as well as Thanet District Council, Swale Borough Council, City Council and, potentially, Kent County Council. The Partnership Board may also include other stakeholders such as Job Centre Plus, and providers of careers services for adults. The aims of this Partnership Board would be to:

. Act as a conduit between the Airport Company and local, regional and national government, taking responsibility for local strategic education, training and employment issues associated with the presence of an operational Manston Airport.

• Suggest initiatives that meet local need

. Bring together parties working on initiatives around the area where collaboration would have greater impact for the local community.

. Allocate available funding.

. Ensure suitable performance targets are set and monitor progress against these
