Most definitely IF they have the will and finances to fight. Ten years ago would have been a much easier time than now. We are talking about possibly the highest profile and awareness climate change and environmental impact has ever had. Can’t help thinking this, in this location should have been done years ago.... you can’t suddenly fly jets every few minutes literally in people’s back gardens. It’s a densely populated area and its not like the argument for Heathrow expansion, that’s already there and impact is there, the uplift and impact on immediate locals will be huge. They will also take into consideration if there are alternatives near by that impact less on community if not environment or are established which of course there is.
They literally couldn’t have picked a worse time to go for planning from that point of view.
