Do not develop Nestuda Park. It is too close to the flight path in the event of a cross-wind
There is a proposal to develop farming land on the corner of Nestuda Way and the A127. This was formerly in the PSZ and nothing has changed in that respect, as far as I can see. This proposed development is immediately adjacent to the runway and is currently used for crop production. Covering this land in development is dangerous and ill-advised. Our current crop has been devastated by floods and an extremely long winter. Every inch of spare land should be cultivated as a precaution against further disruption. It is safer to have a field that grows crops next to a flight path than it is to have an industrial site.
