Airport wants to continue engine testing
19.07.11
Norwich Airport is to carry out an assessment on the environmental impact of its plans for engine testing, the BBC reports. It is holding a public consultation to gauge views of residents and businesses before selecting airport locations, with an application for planning permission to be submitted in the Autumn, when a formal statutory consultation will be carried out.
A public exhibition is being held over two days in Hellesdon and Horsham St Faith. An airport spokesman said: ‘It will provide the opportunity for the local community to view and discuss the plans. Members of the project team will also be on hand to answer any questions.’
A couple who own a nearby farm won the right to a judicial review into planning permission for aircraft engine testing at Norwich Airport in February. A High Court judge granted Gill and Peter Cook the right to challenge Norwich City Council's decision to allow tests by KLM. The Cooks live on a Spixworth Farm, 500m from the test site.
A spokesman for Norwich Airport told the BBC it is aware of the legal challenge and, although it is a matter between the couple and the council, it would keep a close eye on the process.
