the decision — perhaps unsurprisingly, given that Johnson now leads the national government.

Still, the plan isn't exactly dead — a point that Justice Lindblom himself made clear in the judgment. He said the decision rests on a failure to consider the country's climate commitments, not a fundamental incompatibility with those commitments.
"We have not decided, and could not decide, that there will be no third runway at Heathrow," he wrote.
