Farnborough Airport plans to go direct to Planning Inspectorate

Rushmoor Borough Council did not determine the application to increase non-weekday flights within the statutory timeframe of six months.

However, there remain technical and legal aspects of the proposals that may make it very difficult to approve the application to increase non-weekday flights - hence the plan to go direct to the Planning Inspectorate.

Farnborough Airport has announced plans to seek a decision from the Planning Inspectorate on an application to increase non-weekday flights after it was not determined by Rushmoor Borough Council within the statutory timeframe.

As the World Cup 2026 has now started, let's talk about it. ⚽ Domestic Abuse.

Major sporting events are often moments of excitement and celebration for many. However, research consistently shows that they can also coincide with an increase in domestic abuse. We understand that football does not cause domestic abuse but it is important to highlight that it can act as a trigger point for abuse to escalate.

You are not alone. If you, or someone you know, is affected by domestic abuse please reach out for support.

Normal service over the Bank holiday, BUT our bin crews will be starting an hour earlier (6am) in this heat, please pop your bin out the night before, if you won't get it out just before 6am.

BANK HOLIDAY BINS AND HOT WEATHER ☀️

Our bin crews are working normally on Bank Holiday Monday so your bin collection day won't change next week.

With hot weather forecast, our crews will be also starting work an hour early so they can complete their rounds out of the midday sun. If you can, we would be grateful if you could put your bins out the night before, but by 6am on collection day.

You can always check which bins to put out on our bin collection day finder - see link in comments.
