A High Court judge has dismissed a challenge to Bristol Airport’s plans to expand its maximum capacity from 10 million to 12 million passengers a year.
The South West transport hub secured planning permission from the government last year on appeal, after councillors in North Somerset had previously rejected its proposals in February 2020. Local residents and environmental campaigners subsequently launched an appeal against the approval.
The airport's plans include a major investment in its terminal building, parking facilities, and public transport links.
