Crissy,
If you want to see what happens when aviation moves out you could do worse than take a look around Fradley (north of Lichfield on A38)
Fradley village was tiny but now has 4000 houses with lots of commuters travelling into Brum.
The airfield site has numerous operators of HGVs and storage units which have generated thousands of HGV movements every day many into the country lanes as they dont all exit direct onto A38.
There are also vehicle dismantlers, a go-cart track, and Curborough motor sprint circuit which generates far more noise than any light aircraft operation
