I too would be interested to know, but I don’t think that there can be a definite answer, unless Norwich chooses to declare one, as it is partly in their hands and partly CAA/DAP.

“The closing date for comments is 28th August 2009.”

niknak post no. 62: “Thereafter, every response is collated and sent to the CAA.”

They might take a day, or a month, or longer, or decide it is not worth the gamble (that last is unlikely in my opinion – sounds like they are unimpressed with arguments about how little justification there is and are determined to try to look like a big, important, international airport and they want the airspace to look like it).

Then the CAA/DAP will take as long or short as they want.

I would have thought October decision at the earliest, and longer/indefinite if one or other chooses to delay or take more soundings. Anyone got anything more definite?


I would also expect there to be some political workings – publicly or behind the scenes.
