Bristol Airport's planning application seeking permission to further develop infrastructure to enable it to handle 12 mppa will not now be heard by North Somerset unitary authority planning committee until next year. The current limit is 10 mppa and the application includes a request to have the limit raised. Annual throughput at the moment is approaching 9 mppa.
The application was submitted a year ago next month. The process might yet lead to a Planning Inspectorate enquiry should the local authority reject the application.
