Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is a requirement for a business plan setting out the operational/functional need for the developments and, if so, whether such a need has been demonstrated.
- Whether the developments would lead to an increase in use of the airfield such that there would be harm to the living conditions of nearby residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance.
What decided it
The Inspector found no development plan requirement for a business plan/viability assessment and that the developments served a genuine operational/functional need without causing harm to living conditions, so they accorded with the development plan as a whole.
the developments were found to accord with the development plan taken as a whole with no identified harm, so the appeals succeeded without a wider tilted balancing exercise
