Keep up the pressure
The whole point of using GA for anything other than going for the £100 hamburger is to get as close as possible to your places of business. Having to take an expensive/time consuming taxi ride defeats the object.
You need to go to your own timetable not at the whim of the local planning authority
You also need to be able to get there on time. So you may need help to get down. Your load may vary so sometimes you could use grass other times not.
It is all about flexibility and viability.
