Did someone say ILS, fire cover AND fences with people with guns?!
Any stand alone NPAS site comes with fences and the others are extras that not all have. As far as I know, except for those on RAF stations, none require guns or hi-tech fire cover. Fire cover for the police and AA could be a talking point with the local fire crew. It is the fixed wing ILS that might be the radical departure that is going to cost real money especially as the location (yet to be agreed of course) has significant altitude restrictions in being under the Stansted flight path and is also just north of the Lambourne LHR stack by Stapleford.
