Expansion plans delayed/shelved?
BBC Bristol Points West lunchtime news reports that Bristol Airport 'has done a U-turn' with regard to its expansion plans.
The report then went on to say any planning application will now be delayed until next summer whilst a 'robust look' is taken at the environmental ramifications.
This means any planning application will now be at least two and a half years behind the original publicly-stated timescale.
One wonders whether off-the-record planning discussions together with legal advice has suggested to the airport that its grand plans would be unlikely to succeed.
Perhaps we shall now see a scaling-back of what is in the master plan.
