Bristol Airport expansion

Dear members

One of our residents, Dr Nick Bishop, has been active in campaigning to stop the planned expansion to Bristol Airport. The original application was turned down by B&NES. However, the Airport has launched an appeal against this refusal.

Nick is extremely concerned about the plans for more night-time flights over Bath and Lansdown which would be greatly increased. His concern is focused on the noise and environmental impacts on Bath which have not been considered in the Bristol Airport application.

The Committee decided to write to Wera Hobhouse and Councillor Dine Romero this week to detail our concerns.

In addition we would urge you to register your views too , see link attached.

If you would like to use the evidence Nick has produced for the basis of your objection this is also attached.
