The Department for Transport imposes restrictions on civil aircraft movements in the UK in the neighbourhood of nuclear facilities. Details are set out in a Statutory Instrument (SI 1929/2007) published by HMSO. For Dungeness, aircraft taking off or landing at London Ashford (Lydd) Airport are not permitted to fly below 2000 feet within 1.5 nautical miles of the power stations. All other aircraft are not permitted below 2000 feet within 2 nautical miles of the power stations.
