Doesnt the airport come under Fylde council in terms of land (planning), wheareas Blackpool council WAS the owner, so any housing plans would go to fylde surely, with BLackpool council and now the new owners putting their '2penneth' in, Fylde council like many others have to find land to build all these new homes, I had heard previously that Blackpool council would object, as they are looking for gov't money to help regenerate the inner town areas , new housing etc... and not building houses on the old Pontins site would go some way to help .. who knows, at end of day would seems things are very quiet down at the airport, while Jet2 have been very good, their intrest lies elsewhere now, and BLK will only be a token base, sad times yes, but can only hope the airport can pull something else out of the bag. what that will be remains to be seen.
