That said, it makes perfect sense that the developers behind Wasps should get the decision, the Rugby club and the Football club both pay significantly more in local rates than the airfield does, they also provide far more year round employment than the airfield and always will.
By that argument however, it would be far better to compulsory purchase then build the stadium on a large farm, of which there are plenty locally.
