They will get their change of use before then. 2 years distant airport will be gone with no prospect of it coming back. Peel will then start campaigning for reallocation. Because it's previously developed land capable of providing homes and hosting employment businesses. Council may try and resist, but its hard to see by then how they can maintain it should only be used as aviation land (with no airport or use). Throw in some expensive court work and specialist planning Counsel, its only going one way.
