Publication of the Air Transport White Paper in 2003 allowed the Government to take a step backwards. BAA can no longer hide behind the Department for Transport and is the prime target for SSE's campaign to prevent expansion. On behalf of tens of thousands of residents, Stop Stansted Expansion will pursue a relentless campaign of challenges against BAA – legal, commercial, planning and regulatory. SSE expects its campaign to continue for years rather than months until proposals for a second runway are eventually abandoned or rejected on environmental or economic grounds. The more immediate task is to fight the environmentally unsustainable proposals to expand use of the existing runway beyond the approved limit of 25 million passengers per annum.
