Campaigners want delay in airport planning decision
22.07.09
Campaign group Stop Bristol Airport Expansion (SBAE) say emissions from Bristol Airport will double if the proposed expansion gets the go-ahead, and are calling for a delay in the decision until a report is published later this year. The campaigners say the 125% increase in emissions as a result of increased flight numbers would make the airport's carbon footprint as big as the whole of Bath and North East Somerset.
SBAE is writing to North Somerset Council, the airport's planning authority, calling for a delay in any decision on the expansion until a Government report on aviation emissions is released in December. It says that any decision made by the council before the release of the Technical Scientific Committee on Climate Change's Aviation Study would be ' recklessly premature'.
