If the area you are thinking of is a site of special scientific interest (SSSI), an area of "outstanding natural beauty" or near an area where birds breed (the feathered kind) you have no chance. However none of the above stop the government putting up wind farms! If you can find a flat bit of Yorkshire which is none of the above and with no neighbours for a few miles then go for it. The more airfields there are the better it is for all of us. Local public relations seem to be a key issue. I've based my cub at a number of small strips over the years and the ones that have least trouble are the ones that involve themselves in the local community ie offering flypasts at local fetes etc.
