PROPOSALS by TAG Farnborough Airport to introduce a new lower controlled airspace have just been submitted to the UK Civil Aviation Authority for approval.

Responding to TAG's initial public consultation, which ended in May 2014 and generated more than 13,000 comments, Waverley's head of planning Matthew Evans said: "The proposal to redirect flights from Fleet and Church Crookham towards areas elevated from sea level will intensify impacts.

"These areas also contain schools and accommodation for elderly people."
