Surely that would make it a vital part of National Infrastructure to the UK’s largest Counties of Yorkshire & Lincolnshire.
If it survives, I don’t ever foresee DSA being a STN of the North without the closure of, at least some, of the surrounding airports mentioned. The green agenda won’t allow it. Then of course, you have a similar situation to what we have now in DSA because the 3 East Midlands cities and certainly Leeds, won’t want to give up their airports.

Strategic national airport infrastructure in the North will be firmly at MAN.
