Bristol Airport has cleared a legal hurdle in the way of its proposed multi-million-pound expansion.
The airport had received planning permission for the major expansion following a lengthy legal battle, but a group called Bristol Airport Action Network appealed against the decision.
The airport heard today (May 18) that the appeal had been "refused on all grounds". A ruling found that there was not "real prospect of success" and no other compelling reason for the Court of Appeal to entertain an appeal.
