A decision on a £150 million development plan for Leeds Bradford Airport has been delayed to give Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick further time to consider the proposal.
The controversial plan for a new terminal was approved by councillors in Leeds earlier this year, but this decision has been referred to Mr Jenrick, who now has the final say on whether to “call-in” the proposal and hold a public inquiry.
The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said on Tuesday that an Article 31 Direction has been issued to allow time for “proper consideration” of the requests for the plan to be called-in.

Great Britain s electricity system was the greenest it had ever been at lunchtime on Easter Bank Holiday Monday, its operator has said.
Sunny and windy weather, coupled with low demand for power, led to a surge in renewable sources of energy, National Grid Electricity System Operator said.
It meant zero-carbon power sources made up almost 80% of Britain s power.
There was no coal generation on the grid and just 10% of power was from gas plants, the operator added.
The National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) said levels of carbon pollution per unit of electricity consumed dropped to just 39 grams of carbon dioxide - the lowest ever recorded for the grid - at 13:00 BST on Monday.
