From London Luton Airport's website this evening (in the news pages)

"Judicial Review says no change to Transportation White Paper 18/02/2005

London Luton Airport Operations Ltd (LLAO) welcomes the clarification given today in the judgement of the Court as to the position of the airport in the context of the Government’s White Paper on ‘The Future of Air Transport’ published in December 2003.

LLAO notes that the Government’s support for the growth of London Luton Airport up to the maximum use of a single full length runway has been upheld.

The Court had indicated that if the option of extending the runway were taken forward in order to achieve growth it would first need to be the subject of a full public consultation. LLAO has always been both open and transparent about its aspirations for expansion and the Court has acknowledged that LLAO had acted entirely properly in its response to the Government’s consultation which preceded the White Paper.

LLAO has always assumed that any option for achieving a single full length runway would require a full and public consultation as part of any normal planning process, the first stage of which would be undertaken during the preparation of the airport Master Plan this year."

Love to all...
