I have lived for 37 years about one mile south of the runway, so am directly affected by this proposed development.

I wish to object strongly to the proposal, primarily based upon the noise that necessarily will be generated by cargo flights at night. This is a peaceful location, many retired people live here, and I value that peace and quiet, especially at night.

The airport roads that will link to the dual carriageways are also inadequate for airplane cargoes, in my opinion.

Previously, EUJet, Flybe and KLM have all tried to develop the airport, and each has ceased. The problem is the geographical location: ideal for a wartime RAF base, but far from ideal for civilian use.
