I feel that the 24/7 aspect of this plan should be rejected, whatever the main decision, the people in the flight path should not have their sleep disrupted or the quite enjoyment of the weekend spoilt.

I feel that the environmentally, it is inappropriate, sea transportation makes much more sense. The air pollution and greenhouse gasses are not justified.

I am also concerned that given the history of the site, the development is at a significant risk of failure. Therefore I feel that there should be a condition of the compulsory purchase that the current owners retain the option to purchase the land back for the same price, should the venture fail within 15 years. (Or they be given the option of it being a compulsory leasing.)
