Finally approved. Now we just need to expand our other airports. Of course typical with this country there will still be legal challenges that will slow the process down and will waste a stack of money. No wonder we don't lead anything in the world anymore.
I can only imagine how much chaos this is going to cause around the M25/M4 junction which is in a state of permanent grid lock these days as it is. I nearly took a job commuting along that stretch, in light of this news I am glad I didn't!
