How is it going to be accessed by road? Without the runway extension maybe, with the runway extension it's going to be an expensive proposition, which I suspect will need a cutting. Hope nobody has forgotten the large gas pipeline that runs along the northern airport boundary! Could the current road infrastructure (ie thorough the airport main entrance) support multiple articulated lorries 24/7?
Just found the "Navigator Quarter" Master Plan: Apparently access via north of the runway, very little other detail on road access.
