Campaigners claim Leeds Bradford Airport should be taken to court because it has exceeded a limit on night-time flights for a second consecutive year.
A condition set out when the airport was granted planning permission in 1994 states it can only operate up to 2,920 flights between 11pm and 7am in the summer season . The airport exceeded that limit last year and Group for Action on Leeds Bradford Airport claims it committed the same offence this summer, by running at least 473 extra night-time flights, and should be taken to court by Leeds City Council.
said the council should now use its powers to issue a Breach of Condition Notice, to ensure the airport is taken to court for prosecution.
