Farnborough Airport fails planning

FARNBOROUGH AIRPORT, perhaps best known internationally for its biennial Airshow, but essentially very much the executive aviation gateway for west London and parts of the Home Counties, has lost a planning application to expand movements from 28k to 50k annually.  Whilst the scheme was supported the planning experts asked for advice, clearly the local paper was against any change in the status quo, and a typically noisy campaign by some residents easy persuading Councillors to vote against the project.  Nearby Blackbushe is likely to benefit from the situation although the Farnborough concessionaire might well decide to appeal. www.tagaviation.com
