What price Maintenance?

I have been hearing the odd rumour that may be interesting if true.
It appears that the council/ airport operator could be investigating moving the airport perimeter once the road to Century park is built.
Earlier this year we know that the council held talks with those concerned about CPO's being placed on buildings for the new road, could they also have sounded out the likes of TUI and MAEL about removing the hangars.
I am not sure what the future of Percival Way will be , but with the demise of Monarch, their HQ , training building, Halcyon House, which I believe is empty except for the Police, there appears very little to prevent them from flattening this land and using it for airport use.
The big question is does anyone see this as feasible , does the Airport see Maintenance as holding back development, does it provide much in the way of income , are the Hangars leased or bought.
Would the airport really gain much in the way of stands etc.
I am just throwing this out there for any comments, esp LTNman as your much nearer to the action.
