Not necessarily I understand. The council (CDC) are going to have another crack, this time getting the 'application' right technically, or so I heard a week or so ago. May have changed since.
As a local ratepayer, sorry Council Tax payer, and 'sports / recreational' pilot resident underneath the approach to K 26, my views on all this anti airfield nonsense are unprintable, and certainly in respect of retired airline pilots who buy houses in the circuit of an airfield established in 1938 and then campaign against it in the 21st Century. The country's going mad.
