The Government Office for London could halt the decision making process of Newham's planning committee at next wednesdays meeting to consider the LCA application to expand flights.Whilst considering the Newham officers report on the application, GOL may choose to issue an 'article 14 direction' on the application to instruct Newham not to make a decision while they decide on whether to call the application in or not. Newham would be unable to make a decision once this has been issued.
