Thanet has been dramatically cut from film studio plans because of a lack of interest from Thanet councillors, says the entrepreneur behind the scheme.
Chairman and managing director of Wessex Studios Corporation, John Hunter, had proposed to build a £125 million film and TV complex on the former Manston Airport site.
The revelation comes after a planning application featuring 2,500 homes on the 800-acre airfield, to be known as Stone Hill Park, was submitted to the council last week and showed no sign of movie-making facilities.

Thanet District Councillor Steve Albon referred to Action Fraud over register of interests
TDC leader Cllr Rick Everitt says the matter relates to a “minor payment” made to Cllr Albon as part of a severance agreement when he stopped working for the council in 2016 – three years before he was elected.
He added the matter was referred to Action Fraud “simply as a precaution” and described the suggestion Cllr Albon has done anything wrong as “absurd”.
