Good News for Small Flying Sites
Back in March we alerted a threat to the '28 day planning rule'. This is a planning tool that allows up to 28 days usage of land without the need for formal planning permission. This planning tool is highly beneficial to small flying sites which operate under this aspect of planning.

As part of it's review on planning policy the government consulted on the future of this tool. Of the six options proposed only one, no change, did not represent any threat light aviation.

The government has recently announced the results of the consultation and the good news for light aviation is that the '28 day planning rule' is to remain unchanged. Full details of the decision can be found in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister news site.
