Gatwick Airport second runway legal challenge has date set


Announcing its legal challenge in November, Cagne said there was a failure to properly evaluate the significance of inbound flight emissions and to assess the effect of non-carbon dioxide emissions on the climate.

In written submissions for Tuesday’s hearing, Nigel Pleming KC, for the DfT, said some of Mr Barclay’s and Cagne’s arguments were “irrefutably unarguable”.

James Strachan KC, for GAL, said in written submissions: “GAL first applied for development consent in July 2023, almost two-and-a-half years ago, and GAL is keen to begin the development which has been granted consent.

“It is obviously contrary to the public interest that (unmeritorious) litigation such as these claims should unnecessarily delay national infrastructure projects such as the proposed development.”
