 The Council is thought to be in favour of expanding the use of the site as a business facility rather than as a flying location.Recreational and leisure flying (such as gliding) would potentially remain, along with use of the airstrip by the engineering and maintenance businesses at the site, but flight training activities could be substantially reduced or halted.Potentially this could address the long-running environmental issues with the airfield and its flying over the Chilterns AONB, though most of those now living near to the airfield would have moved there knowing full well an active airfield was nearby.
