Gloucestershire Airport

What a find for the ppl/pa28 flyer - lots of room, lots of runways, easy to find and just a short taxi ride to cheltenham spa for lunch. The onsite cafe is a disappointment, rather smokey and dirty on the day i visited.
The lady did firmly refuse my request for an SRA on the way in, and i must concede i hadn't arranged thAt in advance. One SRA would have been covered by the standard landing fee, and would have left me feeling i had got a good deal from my visit.

Will this airport remain the domain of the private flyer or is it ripe for development?
I noticed the declared distances in the AIP preclude its use by larger types, but is there a cost effective way of overcoming those problems?
