The maps I can see on the net show the land as being Mid Bedfordshire going as far south as East Hyde.
Falcon 666, I think you may be correct.
The
___ . ___ . ___ . lines are county boundaries but must also be local borough boundaries or similar. Heres a Google Earth view:-
and here's one with the Herts district boundaries:-
The Herts problem, as you say, doesn't arise to the south only immediately east of the runway end. An area the size of the current CTA could be accommodated on what is currently farmland. OK, so if I lived either on the farm or in one of the cottages at the start of the lane leading to the south side crash gate I wouldn't be too happy. Aside from those there would be no other properties I can see being directly affected (bit better than the 800-odd properties earmarked for demolition by LHR R3).. Unlike Wigmore Park the land is flat. Get the planning application in NOW!!
