Sywell all-weather runway

As a relatively new resident to Sywell (and not a NIMBY). I am nevertheless concerned over the hard runway - a balanced view probably reflected by other residents - I appreciate the various arguments in terms of safety and utilisation, however now that the decision has been made, I optimistically hope that the general character and relatively peaceful nature of the village will not change.

I don't personally think that demolishing a few NIMBY's houses is a very helpful comment even if only meant in jest(?).

- I've been up in a microlight myself from Sywell and greatly enjoyed the experience (i.e. you can see my house from here!) and both myself and family enjoy seeing the current aircraft and microlights flying overhead. - However as a non flyer, does anyone know what sort of aircraft I can expect to be flying overhead in the future given the increased capacity both in numbers and size of aircraft i.e. when I'm in the garden with family and friends am I going to spill my pint?
