Coventry Airport inquiry ends

Saturday, 02 Aug, 2006 0

A seven-month inquiry into plans for a terminal capable of handling two million passengers a year at Coventry Airport has concluded.

A recommendation by planning inspector Neil Roberts is not expected until early 2007 when a report will be produced for government to make the final decision.

The inquiry has heard evidence from a range of interested parties in favour and opposing the plan, including local community groups, the Civil Aviation Authority and Birmingham Airport.

A statement from the airport said it expected a “positive outcome” next year.

Peter Village QC, representing the airport, said in his closing remarks to the inquiry that if permission was granted the airport would be able to operate “successfully but subject to stringent environmental controls”.
