................particularly the new walkway, which certainly appears to be done on the cheap (v narrow and low quality materials / finishing).
Apparently it cost £7 million to build. It was built as general permitted development without the need for formal planning permission, which means the airport is limited in the facilities it can put in - not supposed to increase the terminal floor space.

Now that planning permission has been granted for the major expansion it may be that the walkway might be upgraded.

And speaking of the major expansion plans, the end of this week will be three months on from the date the secretary of state announced he would not be calling in the plans for public enquiry.

SBAE (StopBristolAirportExpansion) vowed to take the sec of state to judicial review over his non-intervention.

Does anyone know what SBAE is doing? They seem to have gone very quiet.

I believe that applications for a judicial review must be submitted promptly and in any event not later than three months after the grounds upon which the claim is based first arose.

So it would seem SBAE (or anyone else for that matter) must formally ask for a judicial review by the end of this week. A court will only extend the period if it considers there are very good reasons for so doing.
