  'The mast will be erected in the western part of the Richborough Power Station, a place referred to as “The Banana Land” (I suppose the name comes from the pseudo-tropical climate created by the station?).'

And up until that point in the article I was thinking we were talking about the Blue Banana [1]. Because the Frankfurt-to-London route is in the middle of it.

But apparently it is only referring to that former power plant location.

Better theory yet: look at the shape of land surrounded by train tracks and River Stour on Google maps [2].
