Probably old news, but TAG has had the green light for the increase of 2500 to 5000 movements at weekends.

'The operator of Farnborough Airport, TAG Aviation, has won its planning battle to double the number of weekend flights at the airport.
The airport can now accept up to 5,000 take-offs and landings a year – twice the previous allowed total of 2,500.
For the rest of this year, a pro-rata calculation will allow the airport to accept a total of 4,200 aircraft movements at weekends.
The government has agreed with TAG that the economic benefits of allowing an expansion of weekend activities outweighs any environmental impact in the surrounding area.
The government’s finding overrules the decision by the planning authority, Rushmoor Borough Council, who originally blocked the application in June 2006, before contesting the appeal against it by TAG.'

But I think the annual total remains the same, 28000 movements.
