An idyllic rural home could be the last frontier against a gigantic 3,600-lorry parking area.

The lounge and kitchen of the Isherwoods’ bungalow would be just 10ft away from the proposed Stanford West site to counteract Operation Stack.

Their home is the very nearest to the earmarked land and they fear they will suffer directly from noise and light pollution, loss of privacy and rubbish and waste left by truckers.

Yet two of the children have autism, making them more vulnerable to suffering from the disturbance.

Mum Kelly Isherwood, 41, said: “It could be catastrophic. We created a purpose-built home here nearly 10 years ago and this would be life-changing.

“We would never be free from noise and light pollution. My autistic children would be affected massively.”

The Isherwoods live at Gibbons Brook just inside the parish of Sellindge, bordering Highways England’s proposed Option 1 site west of Stanford and Stone Street and overlapping the M20 from the north.

Mrs Isherwood’s autistic son and daughter are, Frederick 12, and Victar , nine who would be immensely disturbed by the noise and bright light.

Mrs Isherwood said: “To them it would be an unexpected intrusion to their lives. starting with the disruption from the initial building. People are already out here doing surveying work.”

Her other two daughters are Scarlet , 16, and Sid, four.

Mrs Isherwood, a motorcycling instructor, built the home from scratch in 2006 with local traders.

While it is was estimated to be £750,000 she fears the blight from the lorry park would cause the property to become unsellable.

Mrs Isherwood said: “This means I am unable to even sell up and leave the area.

“This would not be fully functioning truck stop so how will they be able to cater for drivers in terms of food and water, toilets and even phone charging.

“With no proper facilities it would be like a refugee camp but with lorry drivers.”

Stanford West is one of two options either side of Sellindge and the B2068 but Mrs Isherwood fears that will be the most likely choice in the present Highways England consultation.

This is because it is already being supported by Shepway District Council, Hythe Town Council and Folkestone and Hythe MP Damain Collins.

The lorry parking spaces are needed as an alternative to Operation Stack, which caused traffic chaos over six weeks last summer.

Stack had to be implemented 32 times in 40 days, from June 23 to August 1, because of twin havoc holding up cross-Channel traffic.

This was striking French ferry workers and illegal immigrants in Calais disrupting services in their attempts to break into England.
