Leave the church alone and get on with the airport expansion.
I support the general concept of the plan, but with the following reservations:
1) No mention is made of St Laurence and All Saints church. You cannot avoid this issue. The plan should state unequivocably that the church will not be moved, disturbed, cordonned-off or otherwise affected (apart from noise and altered access from the East). If you do not do this I expect a lot of people will object on the basis that they fear disturbance of the church.
2)The whole plan is too complicated. Not necessarily complex, just complicated. Stick to the basics of moving Eastwoodbury Lane, extending the runway, building a new passenger terminal and the railway station.
