How to Object
In 2022 the airport were granted permission to expand by 2m passengers a year (despite 84% of over 11,000 written respondents being against the plans). Now, before that increase has even been implemented, they want permission to expand again by another 3m passengers. Even more outrageously, they want to completely ruin an adjacent piece of registered commonland that has been owned by the local people since before the Magna Carta.
The reference number for their application is 26/P/0686/OU2. This expansion threatens Felton Common and our local environment. Your voice matters. Here is how to make it heard.
DEADLINE: 28 JUNE 2026
There is plenty of time to prepare your statement. Don’t feel you need to rush—a well-considered objection is more impactful.
