As you said…

The ruling follows a two-day hearing on July 27-28 and removes a significant source of uncertainty surrounding the Northern Runway Project. The UK government granted development consent in September 2025, authorizing Gatwick to reposition its standby runway about 12 m (40 ft.) north and operate it routinely alongside the airport’s main runway.

The northern runway can currently only be used when the main runway is unavailable because they are too close to operate simultaneously. The development consent order also covers airfield and terminal works, new hotels and offices, additional parking and improvements to surface access infrastructure.
