I think the plans were scuppered by the airport itself due to cost and not the council although I can see the day when a new apron south of the runway for long term business jet parking is built.
This would be easier to get past the planning authorities and would not increase capacity at the airport but would allow the FBO's to grow their businesses which will be curtailed at some point when the demand for airline stands shrinks available parking for them which will start to happen from next year.
Oh and there is a large pocket of land south of 08 that is within the Luton town boundary and is not part of Hertfordshire that would make a nice apron the size of the main apron.
