Thousands of jobs could be put in jeopardy by a new delay to plans to expand passenger numbers at a major airport, a tourism board has said.

Uttlesford District Council voted to revisit previously approved plans to increase Stansted's passenger volume to 43 million per year from 38 million.

The newly-elected council agreed at the end of June the proposals must be reviewed again by the planning committee over issues largely around new environmental concerns and planning obligations.
