What really annoys me about this proposal is that they state in the consultation that a large part of the proposed zone in the West (to be known as the Swanton Box) will not be required by NIA for 70% of the time so when they don't want it they will delegate it to the military to be controlled out of Marham. So you want to transit & call NIA, they have delegated it to Marham and can't be bothered to call Marham to see if they can allow transit so you will be denied access to airspace that is probably empty and likely to stay that way for the duration of your transit. All this without the military haveing to make a case for having the airspace.

Submit your objections before it's too late.

By the way:

In accordance with the Cabinet Office Code of Practice on Consultation and the CAA’s requirements a period of 12 weeks is allowed for consultation. In order to make allowance for the May Bank Holiday period NIA has extended the consultation period to 14 weeks.
Thus the Consultation Period begins on 22 May 2009 and is planned to close on 28 August 2009 .
