Policy S15 makes no reference to light pollution visible from the Dark Skies area within the SDNP by any future changes/development to the aerodrome via replacement of building lighting and future runway lighting. This will have a huge effect for residents in the vicinity of the site as well as the sight lines from the protected Downs and other directions.
Correct 4.106 as there is no cultural benefit and any economical gain has to be weighed up against the economic harm to the local district caused by the associated traffic congestion on the the A27 and local roads. I would like to see where the facts and figures come from for your statement economic benefits from such events are well documented v the actual economic harm to the district.
