LGS6753 doubts the bigger picture but:
It’s a fact that a large piece of land bordering the airport, north of runway 26 has had outline planning permission for warehousing/ light industrial use / hotel /retail for around 10 years and is owned by a property company.
It’s a fact that the property company was refused planning permission to serve the site from local roads and that access has to be via the airport.
It’s a fact that the government produced a map last year that shows for the first time a new road running from the Ibis to the A505 at Lilly via the airport.
It’s a fact that the roundabout that will be built opposite the Ibis next year will be the size of the M1 Junction 10A roundabout to allow the new road to be built without the roundabout needing future enlarging.
