Whatever the true desires of the new owners, this once again will result in years of appeals and uncertainty, money to lawyers, then a yes / no decision. Meantime the field will be deprived of development money. Potential customers and users will avoid it like the plague furthering its demise. And then the developers have the entire filed and GA loses another resource.

The vehicular issue is daft. 112 houses probably represents one vehicle every five minutes, but is used by councils even with single house applications. Why not let the owners build provided a certain proportion of the proceeds are spent on the aviation development, and subject to covenants saying no further non aviation development is allowed and no appeals or actions for noise from the occupiers. That way you might get a bustling, viable field with a future

Of course the other option is to replace the 112 boxes with 40 airpark homes with hangers.....if you can find enough people who want to live near Wolverhampton
