Object to the planning applications

It is not to late to write to Tewkesbury Borough Council and object to the planning applications. Different people will have their own reasons for objecting, but we know that objections have been raised on the grounds of :

• The significant increase in jet aircraft traffic required to fund the changes would represent a major change of use of the airport. The airport plan to replace the light aircraft that have traditionally used the airport with larger private jets and scheduled aircraft.
• The airport has only financial reasons for wanting to build on green belt land. The safety improvements are designed to allow larger aircraft to use the airport.
• The increase in jet aircraft traffic, which the airport uses to try to justify the applications, will be to the detriment of the environment, increasing both noise and pollution.

The planning officer handling the applications made by the Airport is Mr J.Hinett. Letters concerning the plans can be sent to him at :

Development Services,
Tewkesbury Borough Council,

Letters can also be sent to the members of the planning commitee, who will be deciding in due course whether the plans should be permitted or not. Once a commitee date has been announced we will provide the names of the members so that you can write to them directly.
