>> Also, make it very inconvenient for passengers and staff to approach the airport by other means, only allow cargo delivery there through the road network. This disincentives people from e.g. building hotels close to the airport, which would then attract further settlement, which would ultimately lead to noise complaints again.
Or go one step further and just put on barriers to block the trains too. Don't let anyone near the airport unless they walk/bike the few miles. That will drive up servicing costs but will dramatically lower congestion. If don't correctly, virtually nobody will ever get to the airport. It can then be closed altogether, thereby eliminating any and all future noise complaints.
Seeing thought process is interesting. This would face even greater backlash fro locals/local economy.
-No way for business around the development to organically grow.
- a built in tourism-choke IE; no reason to use the airport save cargo or business
-Jobs funneled to and from the city, not the local area.
-millions spent by local taxpayers on two high tech infra projects they see little benefit to.
