1 McCallum, Fiona From: Vic Norman < Sent: 27 July 2022 14:54 To: Bain, Peter (Planning); hotel@glenforsa.com Cc: McCallum, Fiona Subject: Glenforsa Airfield Dear Mr Bain, I have read with interest your comments regarding the proposed planning application for a Hangar to be erected on the airfield. 1/ i have been associated with light aircraft General Aviation for 55 years and i make the following observations. 2/ I know of no other Airfield in the UK that does not have a Hangar to be used at storage and maintenance of aircraft and associated equipment as is the case of most houses in the countryside also have garage or shed to store essential working equipment to maintain the property. 3/My understanding is that there is no intention for the proposed building to increase the use of the airfield but for the building to be used if required for essential repairs to aircraft the could develop a problem having to work outside in bad weather is not a satisfactory solution. 4/I can’t see any reason other than[ complainers ]kicking up a fuss or any negative reasons why the planning for a hangar should be turned down .On the grounds of safety while working on aircraft if required and basic common sense the use of the proposed building when aircraft fly in and crew spend time holidays on Mull spending money with the local community must be a very positive asset to the island and a bonus for local tourism . Your Sincerely Victor Norman Air Commodore 614Sq Cardiff.
