UK: Heathrow expansion rival group to appeal third-runway ruling
The backers of rival London Heathrow Airport expansion project “Heathrow Hub” are planning to appeal a High Court judgment that dismissed a series of legal challenges against the govt’s third-runway plans. In fall 2016, the UK transport secretary selected a third runway—situated to the northwest of the current two runways—as the preferred option for new airport capacity in southeast England. This decision was met with several legal challenges, which were all rejected during a High Court hearing May 1. One of those challengers was Heathrow Hub, an independent proposal that planned to double the length of the northern runway. In the wake of the High Court ruling, Heathrow Hub has launched an appeal, maintaining its call for a judicial review of the govt’s decision to go ahead with the third runway. <br/>
