Concern as Gatwick Airport registration closes early

CPRE Sussex has raised concerns after registration to comment on Gatwick Airport expansion plans was closed early.

CPRE Sussex successfully submitted its own response on Friday. However, people trying to register on Sunday were met with a message saying the registration period had closed.

This was despite the page previously clearly stating the deadline was 11.59pm on 29 October.

CPRE Sussex director Paul Steedman said: “We have been contacted by several people who were unable to register online on Sunday in line with the stated deadline. We have asked the Planning Inspectorate to reopen registration for a small number of days to give those people the chance to register their views.”

The Planning Inspectorate has said the issue is being investigated as a “matter of priority”.
