Court ruling blocks plans for third Heathrow runway
The case before Britain’s Court of Appeal could stall the 14 billion-pound plan to expand Heathrow Airport amid concerns about climate change, pollution and noise.
The ruling released Thursday in London pits local governments and environmentalists against Heathrow, which plans to build a third runway to meet increasing demand for air travel. Parliament approved the plan in 2018, triggering a challenge from environmental groups who say the project conflicts with Britain’s commitments to fight global warming. Local residents also complain about noise, pollution and increased congestion.Comment #div-gpt-ad-1569967089584-0 > div > iframe { width: 100% !important; min-width: 300px; max-width: 800px; }
