2.1 No Action points.

3 AIRPORT BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT KIA quarterly statistics

3.1 Business to date: Steve Fitzgerald reported that there had been:

3.1.1 143 freight movements

3.1.2 1 charter passenger flight

3.1.3 24 military movements, some with troops and cargo

3.1.4 25 training flights

3.1.5 13 positioning flights

3.1.6 61 corporate and general aviation flights

3.1.7 TG aviation general flights (no statistics are available)

3.2 New Business:

3.2.1 Passenger: Kent Escapes will commence a programme of flights coveringtwo destinations over a period of 26 weeks commencing on the 25th May2006 . This operation consists on one aircraft flying to two destinations from09.00 until 18.00 (this will avoid any Section 106 issues of night flying)

3.3 Future business development:

3.3.1. Attending the Airport Operators Association meeting this evening (07.03.06)meeting with both passenger and freight companies to continue discussionabout possible flights. There is nothing confirmed at the moment but theoutlook is favourable.

4 Reconstituting Committee

4.1 Richard Samuel introduced the report produced at the request of the KIACC byofficers from Thanet, Dover , Canterbury and Kent County Council.

4.2 On behalf of the local authorities Richard Samuel recommended that themembership as set out in section 2.2 of the report be adopted. The Chairman invitedquestions and discussion.

4.3 Several felt that the present Committee is too large and that its work, and abilityto debate, would benefit from a smaller membership. However parish councils inparticular were concerned that their representation would decrease to unacceptablelevels. They stressed that the impacts of the Airport are discrete to specificcommunities around it. Therefore local communities expect their parish council tocarry forward issues for them.

4.4 In discussion it was discussed that the Council for Protection Rural EnglandCPRE did not have a constituency interest to represent. It did not need to be part ofthe national position regarding Airport Development. Other points initiated the need or

otherwise, for Airport employees to be allocated 2 KIACC seats (it was understood the2 users seats would accommodate both a freight and “passenger” user). Finallyinclusion of the local business community, in the form of the Thanet and East KentChamber of Commerce was raised and in general supported in respect of continuedmembership.

4.5 The question of selection methodology in respect of parish council wasdiscussed. Both Canterbury City Council and Dover District have frameworks in placewith parishes to enable them, by agreement to nominate parishes. At Thanet this hadnot been necessary thus far, but dialogue with parishes will be organised because itappears impractical for every existing parish committee representation to continue.

4.6 As a matter of information the officer report had included establishment of newworking arrangement between the 4 local authorities and the Airport on strategicissues. The proposed Airport Advisory Group was welcomed – it very noted by all thatits role and its work is very different from that of KIACC. Though an occasions, issueswould be of interest to both bodies.

4.7 Drawing the debate to a close the Chairman summed up. This particular AirportConsultative Committee with reference to Department of Transport Guidance isunusual in that it has a high proportion of parish council representation. Whilst thegeneral principle of some reductions representation was therefore logical therecommended membership – if put to a vote, would not be accepted. Instead it madesense for the local authority officers to review the report produced make changestaking in to account what has been said, and circulate a draft report before the nextKIACC meeting. Certainly clear possibilities had been identified to reduce non –elected representation in KIACC and this did make it possible to restore to somedegree parish council membership.

ACTION:

The local authority other group will report back to the next meeting a revised paper,Brian White to co- ordinate.

5 NOISE and AIR QUALITY MONITORING.

5.1 Noise and air quality monitoring data are being generated at the moment butreports are not being produced. This is an important issue of public interest andinformation will be produced at the next meeting. As there is low usage of the airportat the moment, the position is not disastrous but data does need to be analysed andreported. Apparently Manchester Airport removed the mobile monitor from TroveCourt , when Planestation went into administration. Thanet District Council is pursingthis matter because the mobile monitor was provided in accordance to the S 106Planning Agreement.

5.2 Infratil will produce a report about plans for noise monitor readings, and email tothe committee with in one week. Action Phil Vann.

5.3 A report has been produced regarding nighttime flying during summer 2005 bythe Environmental Health Team at Thanet. After being received by elected membersthe report will be in the public domain.

5.4 Environmental Health’s usual report on air quality will be received at the next

6.2 Discussions have been opened by Thanet with Intratil about the timescale forputting in place a successor planning agreement.

Balance in the Fund 1st April 2005 £2000.00

KENT INTERNATIONAL AIRPORTCONSULTATIVE COMMITTEE

DRAFT FUTURE MEMBERSHIP AND FRAMEWORK

___________________________________________

1.0 Introduction

1.1 At the request of the Kent International Airport Consultative Committee (KIACC), thispaper has been produced for consideration following discussion between the four relevantLocal Authorities, these being:

Thanet District CouncilKent County CouncilCanterbury City CouncilDover District Council

1.2 The four Local Authorities recommend the general content of this report for adoption butnote that, because flight paths have the potential to affect different communities across EastKent , discussion on membership of the KIACC is merited.

1.3 The four Local Authorities had full regard to the guidance produced by the Department ofTransport on Airport Consultative Committees in the production of this paper. The guidancestates that local arrangements for community engagement must be in place at each Airport,but there is no prescriptive formula to follow. It is the case that all Airports have aConsultative Committee, but they do differ greatly. Some Airports, especially the largeroperations, have a principal Committee, supported by Sub-Committees.

1.4 In summary, this paper recommends that the Consultation Committee is revised, withmembership changes. The new Committee will continue to meet the statutory obligation ofthe Airport to have in place community consultation arrangements.

1.5 Separately, and not within the remit of the Consultative Committee, the Local Authoritiesacknowledge that it is advantageous to collectively meet with the Airport regarding strategicissues. This has led to the conclusion that, outwith the Consultative Committee, a newAdvisory Group should be formed.

2.0 The Kent International Airport Consultative Committee

2.1 Not only will the KIA Consultative Committee continue to satisfy the requirement that theAirport, within the context of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 and Department of TransportGuidance, has in place a satisfactory Consultative Committee. Further, for the purposes ofSection 7 of the Section 106 Planning Agreement, dated September 2000, the KIAConsultative Forum will replace the Manston Airport Consultative Committee (MACC).

2.2 Membership of the Committee must continue to represent Committees with an interest inthe Airport. For example, Local Councils and communities under the flight path must berepresented, along with other stakeholders as listed below. This will enable localneighbourhood concerns to continue to be raised.

2006_03_07 data3.docx

Page 2 of 4

Chairman - Independent, agreed by the Committee Members

and the AirportAirport Users x 2Airport Employees x 2Local Councils in Thanet x 2Local Councils in Dover x 1Local Councils in Canterbury x 1Chamber of Trade and Commerce x 1Manston Airport Group x 1Council for the Protection of Rural England x 1Kent County Council x 1Thanet District Council x 1Dover District Council x 1Canterbury City Council x 1Ramsgate Residents x 1

As before, it will be up to the Organisations represented to select and appoint Members to theCommittee. The schedule is not considered exclusive. From time to time, review may lead tochanges in membership, reflecting changes in Airport usage for example.

2.3 The Chairman of the Committee must be independent, and not represent a sectional interestor Constituency Group.

2.4 Local Authority representatives will normally represent Wards/Divisions close to the Airport,or beneath the flight path. Elected Members may be accompanied by Officers to assist with technicalmatters. Officers from Thanet will regularly be in attendance to answer queries relating to planningand/or environmental monitoring (Environmental Health).

2.5 The Airport must always have management in attendance, and it will respond to requests forinformation. In accordance with the existing Section 106 Agreement, it will also fund the ConsultativeCommittee – it being the successor of the MACC. Because of the size of the Committee, meetingswill not take place at the Airport. The Committee can decide the venue of its meetings but, on atleast an annual basis, a visit to the Airport to view and question operations will beappropriate. Environmental monitoring and Airport activity in terms of aircraft movements will bereported to the Committee by the Airport. Robust reporting from the Airport Owner, with commentaryand corresponding reports from Environmental Health on air quality and noise, will be regularAgenda Items.

2.6 The Department of Transport Guidance indicates that the primary role of a ConsultativeCommittee are provision of, and dissemination of, information. Information is essential to fosterdiscussion, and a Committee must allow also concerns to be raised by interested parties, heard bythe Airport Owner, and debated. Issues raised by stakeholders will not necessarily be resolved bythe Committee because that is not its function. It is not a decision-taking arena, but it can, if itwishes, make recommendations to others with legal responsibilities, like the Planning Authority orthe Airport Owner.

2.7 It is envisaged that the Committee would meet three times per year, though this might needto be revisited as aircraft movement numbers increase. The Consultative Committee canconsider whether or not it should meet in public. At present, the KIA Consultative Committeemeets in private, quarterly, but with one meeting in public each year. A similar pattern isfollowed by many other Committees, on the understanding that private meetings foster frankdiscussion. Almost all Airport Consultative Committees publish Minutes. Debate on whether

2006_03_07 data3.docx

Page 3 of 4

or not meetings are conducted in public is probably merited in the case of KIA, and recentlythe editor of a local newspaper has, in writing, expressed an interest in being able to attendmeetings.

2.8 The Consultative Committee will need to keep up to date with current Legislation andGuidance in respect of the Air Transport sector. This will necessitate, from time to time,presentations from regulators, other experts and, of course, the Airport itself. Similarly, theConsultative Committee must be aware of the Business Plans of the Airport because they, ofcourse, impact on communities.

3.0 The Airport Advisory Group

3.1 The purpose of the Advisory Group is to ensure that, collectively, the Local Authorities sharea Planning and Economic Agenda for East Kent . This will enable a co-ordinated influence tobe exerted on Regional Policy.

Chairman From within the CommitteeElected Member Thanet District CouncilElected Member Kent County CouncilElected Member Canterbury City CouncilElected Member Dover District CouncilSEEDA

The elected Members will be agreed and appointed by their respective Local Authorities, andSEEDA will provide a named representative.

3.2 Elected representatives can be accompanied by employed Officers of the Authoritiesconcerned, in order that they may assist with technical issues.

3.3 Meetings will take place at the Airport. The public will not be in attendance.

3.4 The relationship between the Airport and the Local Authorities plus SEEDA is a product of thequality of its strategic plans, and in particular the Masterplan. To carry out its work, theAdvisory Group must also retain a keen awareness and understanding of the economic socialand environmental implications of the Airport in its regional setting. This does not duplicatethe formal relationship between the Airport and the Planning Authority, nor does it overlapwith the role of the Consultative Committee.

3.5 To be effective in providing steerage and, if necessary, objective criticism, the AdvisoryGroup should maintain strategic focus. This will necessitate knowledge of Regional Policyand understanding of the relationship between development of the Airport in the context ofSouth East England. It is believed that the membership proposed in this paper meets thatrequirement. Clearly, the Members of the Group will report back to their Organisations and,in turn, bring forward issues to the Group. This process will reinforce strategic focus.

4.0 Conclusions and Summary

4.1 Council Officers believe that the framework set down in this paper fulfils the twin aims ofcomplying with Department of Transport guidance on the achievement of good localcommunity engagement, whilst it also enables Local Authorities and SEEDA to be activelyinvolved in the strategic development of the Airport. Now, with a new Airport Owner in place,is a good time to review and change.

2006_03_07 data3.docx

Page 4 of 4

4.2 Because the Local Authorities are represented on both the main Consultative Committeeand Advisory Group, there will be communication between the two.

4.3 The views of interested organisations, and in particular existing Members of the KIAConsultative Committee, are being sought before the decision to change is taken. Inparticular, views on membership of the Consultative Committee are welcome.

2.3 4.6 of previous minutes was raised. The Chairman advised that it had not been agreed by



Page 2 of 5

theCommittee that it changes its constitution, membership or terms of reference.

2.4 Point 6 was raised; Brian White responded that there is nothing firm to report on the newSection106 agreement and dialogue between Infratil and the Council was ongoing, it beingunderstood by both organisations that the airport continues to operate under the existing 106 whichremains the same.2.5 The MAG representative, with reference to 9.2, drew the Committee’s attention to a reportregarding named airports in the South Easter. Separately, Brian White will circulate the information toall Committee Members.

3.0 POSITION OF CHAIRMAN

3.1 The Chairman distributed Appendix 1 to all Committee members. After the Committee had beengiven time to read this Appendix the Chairman highlighted Point 9 which states that after and fair andindependent selection process had been completed, the Selection Committee, chaired by theindependent Chair of Standards at Thanet) recommended that this Committee endorse the ofappointment of Mr. Paul Twyman to the position of Chairman.

3.2 The Chairman requested that the KIACC confirm the appointment of the new Chairman as soonas possible and preferably before the next KIACC meeting as he did not feel it was appropriate forhim to maintain his position given the potential conflict of interest in view of his position as ChiefExecutive of the Planning Authority, especially when TDC was in negotiation with KIA over a news106. The Chairman then invited questions and discussion.

3,3 Several members expressed their concerns that they had not had any involvement in theselection process. The members felt that when the preferred three candidates were identified thatthey then should have each addressed the members of the Committee before any decision wasmade.

3.4 The Chairman reminded the Committee that the selection process had been agreed at the lastmeeting and that it was clearly stated in the minutes of 7th March, which had just been approved bythe Committee at the beginning of the meeting. TDC had followed the instructions of the Committeeand had therefore fulfilled its obligation. It was also noted that the selection process was intended tobe independent and that Infratil had accordingly not been involved. Several Committee Members feltthat this was not what was agreed.

3.5 A recommendation that the 3 personnel be invited before the Committee was made. This wasseconded.

3.6 The Chairman advised caution, and pointed out that all three potential candidates had beeninformed that the preferred candidate would need to be endorsed by the Committee. The Chairmanalso said that the two unsuccessful candidates in the selection process had been advised that theywere not successful. Mr. Twyman had been informed that the decision of his appointment asChairman would need to be endorsed by the Committee.

3.7 After more discussions over the selection process and the agreement of the Committee, theCommittee came to the view that it would like all three of the short listed candidates to appear andaddress the Committee, with a copy of each individual’s CV be supplied to each Committee member.The Chairman advised that he would have to contact each of the candidates to get their agreement,and he thought that none of them would be happy with this proposal even though all three of themwould have been appointable. The selection process had been based on Leadership ability andindependence, and he saw no value in an additional selection process. The Committee wasreminded that each member had some form of representative or constituency role. The value of theCommittee being that collectively it should represent the entire community. It therefore followed thatbecause each Committee member had a sectional interest, an independent selection process would




Page 3 of 5

be difficult to achieve.

3.8 It was then moved that the Committee formally consider and vote on the proposal to have allthree candidates appear before it. The Chairman agreed that the proposal would be put to a vote, butfirst the recommendation of Mr Twyman as Chairman had to be decided. The proposal was put to avote and defeated.

3.9 In an attempt to draw the lengthy debate to a close the Chairman proposed to the Committee thatall three candidates would be contacted and be invited to speak before them. The Chairman notedthat this was against his better judgment and that in his view they were voting on a process that wasflawed.

3.10 Before pointing out that, in his opinion, the process was flawed, the Chairman then dealt withthe motion that all three short listed candidates be contacted with the view to them addressing theCommittee members. This was agreed by a clear majority.

3.11 The Committee noted that the agreed process should not be seen as an interview panel and aclear program of how the presentations will be conducted will be provided and made available toCommittee Members and the 3 individuals. Committee Members suggested that a presentation ongiven topics could be appropriate rather than questions and answers.

3.12 The Chairman advised that, if possible, votes should be avoided and the approach should beconsensual.

3.13 The Committee requested that after the appointment of a new Chairman consideration shouldbe given to the creation of a new position of Vice Chairman to avoid recurrence of the current issue.It was agreed that this would be one of the first matters for the new Chairman to consider.

papers.

5.0 AIRPORT STATISTICS

5.1 See Appendix 3 - the Chairman invited questions and answers.

5.2 The Committee member Mr Kirkaldie noted that there was one incident of night time flying duringApril 2006.

5.3 He added that he believed that this incident of night time flying should be fined. Mr Kirkaldie sawthe failure of KIA to notify the residents as indicative of Infratil being confrontational in their approach.He also highlighted that there was also a serious breakdown in communication in regards to the 106agreement.

5.4 Phil Vann explained the aircraft in question had a noise category that was within the limitsoutlined in the s.106 agreement and was therefore compliant. KIA was in Mr Vann’s view very openin their approach and did all things necessary of it in relation to night time flying. He added that he didnot therefore believe that Infratil were in fact being confrontational.

5.5 Several felt that there were quite a number of movements not following the flight path; Phill Vannadvised that any situations recorded would be investigated.

6.0 UPDATE ON ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

6.1 See appendix 4 - Chairman invited Pierre Abignano to update on the noise monitoring, and PaulMartin to update on Air Quality.

6.2 Pierre Abignano advised that there were various difficulties with the previous system ofrecording, and that 2 noise monitoring systems were now in place, being compliant with the 106agreement.

6.3 Brian White then stated that it was both the view of the Council and Infratil that even though thetraffic was significantly lower than April 2005 there were few complaints in comparison. Mr Whitewent on to add that the Council, having reviewed the technical information in relation to the newnoise monitoring equipment could confirm that it was compliant with the current s.106 agreement. Itwas also felt that given the low number of movements currently at the airport that it was a opportunetime for a change. The objective was that data from the monitored records would eventually be shredon both the Council and Infratil website.

6.4 Paul Martin reported that the Air Quality around the airport was found to be the same as in otherareas around Thanet and that this is well below action levels. Again, the shared objective is that datawill be posted on the websites.

6.5 Chairman invited any questions.

6.6 Committee asked that if there were more aircrafts then would there be more pollution? PaulMartin advised that it would require a major increase in flights to influence the statistics. The night airpollution source in Thanet is road traffic. He pointed out that the big advantage of the monitoringregime is that trends are being monitored.

6.7 The question was raised in regard to the previous mobile noise monitoring system, which theCommittee was told had been removed by Manchester Airport. Now arrangements with regard to theneed for a mobile unit and its provision were under discussion.

8.0 KIA COMMUNITY FUND

8.1 See Appendix 6

9.0 ANY OTHER BUSINESS

9.1 A question was raised in regard to Vortex and the potential hazard of residential houses beingdamaged. The CAA guidance covers only aircraft on aircraft issues, and is silent on property. It wasfelt that this subject is a matter for local discussion with the airport.

9.2 Phill Vann recommended that the Committee Members visit the airport, either individually or as agroup.

9.3 A question was raised with regard to the secretarial arrangements. Phill Vann stated that thesecretary will be provided by Infratil.
