Reminds me of the time when Tom Wheatcroft was trying to reopen Donnington Park race circuit.
The principal objector turned out to be the same one who had lead the campaign against Thruxton! They are about 200 miles apart.
Unfortunately for him (but not for Donnington) the same barrister represented both circuits. The objection was thrown out.
I will say (as happened in Donningtons case) A letter writing campaign by pilots who have used the airfield pointing out the money that it generates in the local area can and will sway councils. Nothing sways opinions like money. 🙂
