The airport was the reason for the business park, not the other way around. I happened to be on the development team all those years back so I have more memory of events than most. Since then I've been a tenant at the airport as well as a pilot using the facility, so again, I've had more than a passing interest.
Groundloop, please, have a think before hitting submit and sounding daft. Better to ask a question than jump to a conclusion.
On a more general note, I'm beggared that so many PPRuNe'rs are so enthusiastic to see another runway be torn up and lost forever to GA. There are some really incredibly stupid people on this website.
