Is the lack of agreement restricted top appellant v. council, or are others involved?
A. Unfortunately, misunderstanding abounds at all levels. Among recent examples, one aerodrome was rejected by the local borough council but was supported strongly by the county council, yet in another case the local planning authority gave strongly supported approval for a projected aerodrome, which was opposed equally strongly by the county council. Clearly, many decisions are largely arbitrary and are not based on any knowledge of aviation or of the needs of the neighbourhood. Although much of this bickering – using public money – reflecting the pettiness of party politics, also it provides the need for the General Aviation Awareness Council.
