Core Strategy Preferred Options (Revised October 2008)

Representation ID: 3647

Received: 14/12/2008

Respondent: Mr Brian Whistler

Representation Summary:

Do not forget to consider the responses of RRDC residents to the JAAP consultation process.

Now that Eddie Stobbart has bought the airport the pollution concerns have increased with the probability of freight flights to contend with as well.
