Here’s a letter to one of our supporters from the Minister of Aviation’s office in the Department for Transport. The letter very clearly sets out government expectations that planning authorities will maintain and support our national General Aviation network of airfields.
We are pleased at the clear recognition, at the highest levels of government, of the value that General Aviation airfields bring at both a local and a national level.
With the weight of this letter, it is important to repeatedly ask District and County councillors why Nottingham City Airport why the airfield was included in the Local Plan for Rushcliffe without consideration or evaluation of the contribution it makes to the local and national economy?
The value of the airport, both now and in the future, clearly outweighs the false rationale some people have put forward to build unneeded houses on it.
Homes can be built in many places, airfields can not!
