I do have every sympathy if the airfield owner opened up post Ms Lacey moving in and did so without going through the proper channels
In the UK, you can't.
You can do
one of the following
a) the 28 day rule
b) full planning permission
No other way.
If you do a) and there are movements on more than 28 days per year (and you can be sure the determined NIMBYs will be counting) then you have a problem.
If you do b) then you can continue so long as you remain within the terms of the planning permission. The process for getting that includes receiving objections etc. That is called democracy.
Incidentally, the presumption in Planning law is
in favour of a permission. The objectors have to make their case. Not a lot of people know that!!!
