The cap restricting night flights may have been breached last summer
The boss of Leeds Bradford Airport has admitted rules around night-time flights “may” have been broken, according to the published minutes of a meeting.
The Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport who raised the issue with Leeds City Council, said Mr Hodder’s apparent admission showed their complaint was justified. He is then said to have added: “There are differences in how the planning conditions can be interpreted which is something we are working through with Leeds City Council.”
The group’s chair, Clare Foren, said: “Our monitoring found there were more than 600 flights from LBA above the limit for night time flying last summer. Ms Foren said the cap had been put in place to limit excessive noise and to protect the health and wellbeing of the airport’s neighbours.
