PRESS RELEASE 23 January 2006

Updated Airfield Safeguarding Fact Sheets.

Increasing numbers of airfields are under threat from local building
development or regional planning policies. Many Local Authorities do
not appreciate the needs or understand the value of General Aviation and
grant planning permissions which severly restrict and sometimes prevent
the continued operation of an airfield.

The General Aviation Awareness Council (GAAC) actively works to make
central and local government aware of the value of general aviation and
the contribution that it makes to the economic and community life of the
Nation. Fact Sheets 4a and 4b (giving valuable advice and guidance on
how to protect your airfield have been updated and are now available for
free download at the GAAC web-site at www.gaac.org.uk Click on Planning
Information and 'a series of free fact sheets'.

If your airfield is experiencing problems with the local planning
authority or is threatened in any way by neighbours or local
developments then these Fact Sheets are essential reading.
