Today, 10 July 2023, LB Newham's Strategic Development Committee has considered London City Airport's S73 Planning Application which articulated the airport's expansion proposals.

The Committee received and deliberated upon its Planning Officers Report which contained a recommendation to REFUSE the S73 application.

The Committee endorsed their Officer's recommendation thus ending, for the mean time, the airports proposal to expand its operation and dispense with the weekend 24 hour respite period which had been in place for several decades.

It remains to be seen whether London City Airport will appeal this planning decision and their formal response on the decision is awaited.
