I understand it's for caravan storage, not occupation.
Two very different usages. Any caravan storage facility has to be fenced and have on-site security in order to be insurance-compliant. If not, owners won't be using it.
There are already around 500 caravans stored around less than a mile from the airport.
The Daily Mail-style hysteria further up the thread about travellers is incorrect.
I'm probably one of the few contributors to the thread that's actually worked there, and I feel deeply saddened whenever I go into the terminal. I spent a couple of years of my young working life in the place. And this proposed plan for alternative use adds another sign of decay to the formerly proud little airport.
