The local transport infrastructure (such as it is) already cannot cope with the current passenger numbers. The planning application intended to allow 12mppa proposes some more tinkering with the A38 road junctions in Lulsgate Bottom but very little else apart from a generous portion of very wishful thinking around passenger use of public transport. It would be entirely wrong of North Somerset Council to agree to any further expansion unless railway and a dual carriageway links are built FIRST. This will entail a pause in any expansion but it’s the only sensible way forward. Enlargement of the green belt inset to the north of Downside Road is also probably going to be needed, because the ‘very special circumstances’ arguments required as justification for tarmacking the greenbelt south of the runway are wearing very thin indeed.
