Proposed Hotel at Biggin Hill Airport

If you've seen the article in the latest copy of the Newshopper you will be aware that a consultation is due to take place regarding the plans for a hotel at Biggin Hill airport.
The planned hotel is ostensibly for pilots and crew. In reality we will probably see the hotel struggling to be a viable business. The airport will then pressure the council into changing the lease to allow flights outside of it's current hours (i.e. night flying) and allowing fare-paying passengers.
The council will be held culpable by the local papers and Biggin Hill airport of allowing the hotel to fail adding to the pressure to change the lease. And then we'll be looking at a repeat of Stansted all over again.
If you're concerned about noise, pollution, increased traffic etc etc then let your local councillor know and perhaps consider supporting Flightpath and their work.
