<<I doubt that helicopters are that compatible with biz jets >>
If the correct procedures are formulated, any type of aircraft should be compatible with any other type - that's what ATC is for. Farnborough manages OK.

Helicopters have their own procedures at Blackbushe which keep them clear of the runway.(mostly)

Shame if the airport is just drifiting down
A few years back there was a parallel grass 500m runway (at the western end of the tarmac 07/25) which was withdrawn, I forget exactly when.
At the moment, there are probably less than a dozen jet/turboprop movements per day, so I don't really see why they couldn't co-exist, with some sensible segregation?
