Bratton was the place near Telford where the first proposed development foundered.

The problem is that the housing density on a fully developed ex airfield site is so many times higher than that which could be achieved on an airpark that the economics simply don't stack up. As we don't have large areas of spare land, the only way an airpark could be viable is to put it in a part of the country where there is no huge pressure to build low cost housing.

Bentwaters?
West Raynham?
Sculthorpe?
Oban if I dare mention it?
Aberporth?
Macrihanish?
