London City airport submitted proposal to increase capacity from 6.5 million to 9 million passengers.

Climate campaigners and Newham council opposed the move, arguing the air and noise pollution would affect people living nearby.

Climate Change Committee has recommended there should be no net airport expansion in UK if the country is going to meet its legally binding target of net zero emissions by 2050 .
