There are as usual at least two sides to the argument. We have the bizjet drivers etc who use Kidlington saying "controlled airspace for London Oxford would be good" and the passing GA saying "more controlled airspace in that area represents more squeeze on the class G which will further concentrate the FIR traffic and increase the collision risk"
And there's the "grab as much airspace as possible to increase the chance of us getting more traffic sometime" school of airport management (viz Doncaster & now Norwich)
As this is the "private flying" forum and I also have a personal axe to grind re open airspace to meander around in Oxfordshire, I remain of the "here comes another plot to seize airspace unnecessarily at the expense of light GA" viewpoint
