One should keep in mind that the above mentioned scheme would act as a rachet for the general longer term erosion of Surrey based aviation facilities.
OTOH if our knee-jerk reaction is to object to any plan a Council puts forward, however reasonable, then no-one will listen when it matters (eg Rochester.)

Remember that Surrey is under huge political, economic and commercial pressure both to build new housing and to preserve its existing green fields, and something has to give somewhere. For them not to say "mmm, Dunsfold, 2,000 houses, Fairoaks? loverly, we'll build 'West Addlestone' there" is a good start already!

I would rather say to Surrey "Seems a good compromise guys, well done!" than object on principal.
