This is The Detail's Long Read - one in-depth story read by us every weekend.

This week, it's reporting for Newsroom by Cromwell-based journalist Jill Herron on plans for a new airport for the South Island, at Tarras in Central Otago.

You can find all Herron's work for Newsroom here.

Farmland around the proposed location for the airport at Tarras is being quietly bought up, but these days, when emissions from flying is a hot topic, opposition to the plan is intense and building.
