I may be wrong (often am) but I don't think it really comes down to choice or politics? I think that so long as it's within policies set by the council themselves they will likely have to approve else risk losing at large expense in appeal?
Sorry if already reported but expiry date updated from 30/11 to 15/1 not sure what that means for the process...

Regarding negatively publicity having no impact on the panel I'm...
The mad thing is they state a hit to the economy linked by West Yorks folk going on holiday from expanded LBA. But then oddly assume if LBA doesn't expand all those people won't know they could take a holiday via Manc which is a double hit to the West Yorkshire economy

Utter madness when they costed direct heavy rail link at "upto £100m" and the new terminal is much less distance from the rail line so...
You'd think the airport route would be ideal for electric buses...
Plenty of time to recharge at either end of the route between journeys... Less stop/start etc...

Just quote this to them... It proves 7m is already approved and is irrefutable.
That in turn means the ONLY variable at play is emmisons from buildings. The new building uses circa 50% less carbon than the existing building (pre extension).
