Is the question of whether there is a genuine aspiration to reopen and run an airport at this site appropriate in the pre-application stage?

Advice given

Questions in respect of whether any applicant has a genuine aspiration to deliver a project are rightly raised during the Pre-Application phase. However, ultimately the decision to submit an application is with the developer; matters such as whether the scheme can be delivered, including the funding for the delivery of the project, would become matters that an Examining Authority may wish to consider during an Examination stage.
