The inquiry was due to begin on April 15 2009, but has been postponed by the Secretary of State pending the outcome of BAA’s appeal to the Competition Appeals Tribunal against the Competition Commission’s requirement that Stansted Airport be sold. It is not known when the inquiry will now be held but there is a possibility that it may commence in 2010.
Statement of Case
A document detailing Uttlesford District Council’s opposition to the second runway has been officially endorsed by councillors.
The Statement of Case sets out the material that will be presented in opposition to the airport’s expansion at the public inquiry.
The Statement of Case forms the argument of the four councils who will oppose the plan at the inquiry: Uttlesford and East Herts District Councils and Essex and Hertfordshire County Councils.
At a meeting of the Development Control Committee on Wednesday February 11 2009, councillors endorsed the Statement of Case, which was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate on December 22, 2008.
