Footage of the ‘sting’ was broadcast on Facebook after the Ramsgate man was caught engaging in sexually explicit chats with someone he believed to be a nine-year-old girl.

If approved the site will be the size of 840 football pitches leading to fears of the impact it will have on the surrounding areas.
