The 19m application will be decided by the Council because it can be. It will be approved by the Council because they own the airport. The application has been merged with the application to increase aircraft noise above legally agreed limits, which were breached in previous year until they got caught out, because they can. The application is being fronted by the airport concessionaire London Luton Airport Operations ltd who are the Council’s stooges.
The DCO to government is being put forward by the airport owner LLAL, which is 100% owned by the council. All three are as thick as thieves and in my opinion inherently dishonest.
