What would the long-awaited environmental permit look like? A simple green flag, or something more complicated? Clearly, many conditions have been set for it to be granted, but will the permit, if given, itself include conditions? My local regional airport has a licence to operate from the local authority. I have little knowledge of its operation but there is certainly a condition imposed relating to the number of night flights. That number has been exceeded by many hundreds on multiple occasions so the airport authorities are now facing compliance procedures and action. So, accepting a permission that contains conditions that might make the operation of an organisation potentially non-viable may not prudent…….but who am I to know? Do any of our contributors have first hand experience of negotiating environmental permits? I would prefer that kind of insight to all the waffle and insults that clutter this board!
