At present and an extremely large number of people, including very many personal friends of mine, are employed at the airport business park in general office or call center type rolls. They find the location extremely isolated and inaccessible not accessible on foot or bike to the vast majority of people and they are dependent on a bus meant for those catching flights at great expense. This type of employment should be located in the city center where those employees will easily be able to walk to work and have a hugely improved quality of life.

As such I welcome amendment 1.298 and support its adoption most strongly.

However, I am concerned that allowing internationally traded services is an overly liberal loophole. Almost all large-scale private sector office employment will involve internationally traded services. Internationally traded services general involve on-line services as distinct from physical transport of people or goods which could conceivably happen through the airport and as such does not benefit from, and is not appropriately located at out of town airport location. I would strongly suggest that the reference to international traded services is removed from the amendment.
