Spotter LBA,
I don't believe the current owners of LBA are constrained by the masterplan that the old team put together following instruction from central government.
Across the UK many similar masterplans have been knocked back by local objection to expansion so it wouldn't surprise me that government is distancing itself from the expansion policy it set out a few years ago.
It would be interesting to know exactly what minimum expansion agreement (if any) was made with Bridgepoint when the local authorities sold the airport off. We could weedle it out of local government if we make a freedom of information demand.
My gut feeling is that we should all not get too excited by what appeared in the masterplan.
