That link and the TAG master plan from 2009 made for interesting reading on a wet afternoon.
The appeal against the refused planning that was granted by the secretary of state back then used a predicted growth to 50,000 by 2019, and yet the growth has actually been from 23,000 to 26,000 over the last 10 years.
Being directly on the flight path I'm quite happy with that prediction being wildly out though.
I still don't quite get the argument for the airspace, there is certainly not a real safety case. and why the TAG directors made a decision to state that 'all movements have to be in controlled airspace' without any real reason, and then managed to get the CAA to grant it, still baffles me.
