Farnborough Airport Expansion
Added at 14:20 on 28 November 2025
Farnborough Airport is set to expand.
If you wish to find out more, please take a look at the Farnborough Noise website: https://www.farnboroughnoise.org/
There has been an additional planning application lodged with Rushmoor Borough Council in this regard. If you would like to comment on this application, the application can be viewed at www.rushmoor.gov.uk/publicaccess. The Web page details include the application forms, all drawings and supporting information submitted with the application. The reference number is: 25/00615/REV
This application submits to increase the number of weekend flights from 8,900 to 13,500 per annum. It should be noted that the airport is currently no where near its current maximum of 8,900 flights on a weekend, per annum. So if, in the future, the airport were to be able to increase to 13,500 flights at weekends per annum, PPC feels this would impact residents who lay under the flight path in Pirbright. This increase would equate to 85 flights each Saturday and 85 flights each Sunday with just 5 minutes separating each flight.
There is a Change.Org petition: https://www.change.org/p/petition-against-expansion-of-farnborough-airport. where more information can be found on the expansion generally.
