The A47 Wansford to Sutton Development Consent (Revocation) Order 2026
This Order revokes the development consent previously granted for the A47 Wansford to Sutton road project.
It exercises the Secretary of State's power under the Planning Act 2008 to cancel an existing Development Consent Order (DCO) without an external application.
The revocation applies to all powers and authorizations originally provided to the project promoters under the 2023 Order.
The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Royal International Air Tattoo, Royal Air Force Fairford) (Revocation) Regulations 2026
These statutory instruments formally revoke the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Royal International Air Tattoo, Royal Air Force Fairford) Regulations 2026, effective from June 4th, 2026.
The Secretary of State has determined that the flying restriction previously imposed around the Royal Air Force Fairford area for the Royal International Air Tattoo 2026 is no longer required because the air tattoo event is cancelled, allowing airspace use to return to normal operations.

This Order designates specific aerodromes in the United Kingdom as authorized locations for the landing or departure of aircraft for customs and excise purposes.
It applies to airport operators and aircraft commanders, mandating that international flights subject to customs controls use only the listed facilities.
