Just to give you an idea of how the people in power think, one of the many points they came back to me with was that they are intending to keep the hedgerows on site.
For those of you who know the area, the 3 fields to be used are separated by hedgerows, so it will be impossible to keep them!
With Aycliffe and TAP, it's quite possible that some of the people haven't even got a clue about the area you are talking about!
Maybe they will transplant the hedges

, or maybe use them as lane dividers

, I am sure the wildlife that normally inhabit them will love the exhaust fumes and extra noise. It is good to know that the hedges are more important than us irrelevant humans.
Regarding TAP if the people involved with the decision making live north of Watford I wonder if they even know exactly where Dover is if they have never been to the Port.
