A campaign group has mounted a legal challenge in a bid to reverse the UK government’s decision to allow Luton Airport to expand.
The expansion involved a new terminal, as well as numerous modifications to the ground layout. Passenger numbers are predicted to rise, following the adaptions to almost double the current levels.

The Luton And District Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise (LADACAN)group has initiated legal proceedings to challenge the decision. It is seeking a judicial review to have the planning decision quashed.
Transport Secretary Hedi Alexander granted the development consent order (DCO) last month. This was despite a six-month inquiry by a team of National Planning Inspectors who recommended against the proposed development due to what it deemed to be environmental harms.
