Responding to the news that the Eastleigh Local Area Committee has not supported Southampton Airport’s planning application and that the decision will be deferred to Eastleigh Borough Council which meets on 8 April, Steve Szalay, Operations Director, said: “Naturally, we are very disappointed with the lack of support from the Eastleigh Local Area Committee (ELAC).
“The committee did not support the recommendations of the planning officer and in doing so it has gone against the majority of Eastleigh residents who expressed their support during the consultation as well as the local business community.
“However, this is far from over. We now welcome the opportunity to present our plans to the full Council on 8 April.
“We hope they will listen to the will of the people, the local business community and their own planning team and make the right decision for the future of the airport and seize the opportunity to create thousands of much needed jobs.”
