They would have the problem of getting permission to build on Green Belt land and overcoming the objections for Someries in the South
Green belt land seems to have increasingly less meaning these days. Much as I disapprove of green belt land disappearing under housing estates (or airports), if the airport is to be expanded it would have to be a far better idea than the council's current preferred option. The area I have looked at would be adjacent to, but not on top of, Someries Castle, which I would have thought in its current state was a less valuable public amenity than a country park in any case. Yes I realise there are complicated issues (cost, planning permission, politics amongst them) if and wherever the airport gets extended but what seems blindingly obvious if you want to more than double the airport's capacity then DON'T try and do it where space is at a premium.
