Explains nicely why for commercial reasons LLAOL has put in a planning application to the council to exceed this limit. By law the planning committee is meant to be independent of the council but in reality takes orders from those running the council as it is their airport. Many eyes are watching this application with the council under pressure to not only turn it down but to also turn down another planning application to exceed night time noise limits that were breached for 2 consecutive years. In that case the council did nothing to enforce the planning rule as they were too busy counting the extra money those breaches earned the council. This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase having its fingers in the till.
Worth noting that in the planning summery for 32 million, which the council is dishing out to the masses at consultation events, the council states that night movements will not increase above existing limits yet even before the ink is dry LLAOL wants to increase this limit.
