Plans for the freight hub were given the go-ahead in July.

The company behind the new cargo hub plans, has previously said the process of opening an airport is highly regulated.

Opposition groups, like Extinction Rebellion Thanet, are concerned.

Peter Batt, Extinction Rebellion Thanet, said protestors are "opposed to aviation expansion" because of its environmental impact.
