I don't think your description of the Stansted area would meet with much
agreement in North West Essex.

I just looked at a map and the airport's immediate surrounds indeed are
either businesses of the type that support the airport and could be moved,
e.g. the car parks, or farmland. You could make it a lot bigger before you
start taking out villages, unlike LHR.
