One thing I can’t get my head around is whether there’s some kind of land use clause on the estate which stipulates must be used for aviation purposes. If this is not the case then given the amount that’s been spent to connect the land to the M18, why not?
I realise I’m naive to the legalities of such things, and I suspect that if Peel are intending to close it down then they’d only do so and not sell it on as a going concern if there wasn’t anything stopping them from a change use. Anyone on here got any idea?
there is a clause in the DSA planning that it must be an airport and it's detailed withing the National Planning Frame Work, but unfortunately, there are always ways round these things....
