Doncaster Sheffield Airport: Judicial review application over closure

Air traffic control staff at the airport will be leaving Doncaster Sheffield Airport on 3 December, the court heard

But site operators Peel Group said no viable offer for the site was made and a judicial review should not go ahead. He claimed the outcome of the consultation had been "predetermined" and also highlighted the number of public services the airport hosted, including military, coastguard and police aircraft.

Meanwhile, Heather Emmerson, representing South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority , argued the airport's owner had previously admitted its "pivotal role in the economic fortunes of the area".But John Litton KC, representing Doncaster Sheffield Airport Limited, said Peel Group did not have a duty to launch a consultation and that it had extended the consultation period twice to nearly 11 weeks at the request of Doncaster Council and SYMCA.

At the hearing in Leeds, Doncaster Council also applied for an injunction to stop the airport being what it described as "asset-stripped".
