In actual fact they are paddling very slowly because we do not live in China. I would be careful what you say unless you are a spokesperson.
The Govt. want to give the good millions of people in Yorkshire and the North East a fit for purpose well located [for the entire region] and fully motorway and main rail connected airport that can handle all aircraft types like they wanted to give flood defense. Those people with wet houses let them do it just like the plane spotters do on here.
If you provide a region a proper airport - it will grow - look at BHX - it will grow through the roof. Whatever Yeadon airport manages to slowly grow to - an airport a few miles to the ESE on main arterial route would more than double it.
