Southampton Airport Runway appeal is refused
The Council can confirm that following a Judicial Review Renewal Hearing at the High Court last December the appeal bought by the Group Opposed to the Expansion of Southampton Airport) Ltd (GOESA), against the Councils decision to allow Southampton International Airport’s runway planning application, has been refused.
Council Leader Keith House, said, “This is good news and supports the High Court’s previous decision in October 2021 to reject a Judicial Review of the decision made by the Council to permit an extension to the runway. This now means that the airport can move forward with its plans, save the airport for the future, generate jobs for our local economy and secure tough controls on overall passenger numbers to protect our environment”.
