The point that you are missing is that the airfield on its own could not possibly be commercially viable.

It has to have an 'industrial' element to its activities and the new Stobart warehouse and HQ will form a vital element of that. No commercially savvy company is going to carry out the airfield improvements in isolation as the result of those improvements, on their own, would not produce sufficient financial returns.

I repeat my view that it is Mr Brown who is the sole cause of the delay in progress being made on the ground - although under UK planning law he obviously has the legal right to take the action that he has.
