So still no decision but campaigners against the expansion of Heathrow have vowed to fight any new development.
They're unhappy about the proposals which would see the new runway built to the north-west of the airport.
That would mean many homes in the villages of Harmondsworth, Longford and Sipson destroyed and mean other residents forced to live on the perimeter of the expanded airport.

Coming up on Drivetime with Eddie Nestor, more on the fatal shooting of a man in Wood Green.

The lawyer representing Alice Gross's family had asked at a pre-inquest hearing in October for the full inquest to probe whether her death was the result of any failure by authorities to implement statutory safeguards to protect the public under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights - the right to life.
Alice's parents, Ros Hodgkiss and Jose Gross, said in a statement: "It has taken us a long time, but we are pleased that the new coroner, Fiona Wilcox, has ruled in favour of an Article 2 inquest that will be heard in front of a jury.
"This jury will be able to explore the systems that were in place when Zalkalns, a convicted murderer, came into the country and whether or not there were any failures on the part of the Home Office or police."
But the jury will not look in detail at Arnis Zalkalns' own death, which was been covered by a separate inquest.
In 1998, Zalkalns was sentenced to 12 years for the murder of his Latvian wife. He travelled to the UK in 2007 after serving seven years, and was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault on a teenage girl in 2009, but not charged.
An inquest will examine whether failures by the government and police contributed to the murder of 14-year-old schoolgirl Alice Gross in September 2014.
Her body was found in the River Brent in west London on 30 September 2014, a month after she went missing.
Arnis Zalkalns, 41, from Latvia, who is believed to have killed her, was found hanged on 4 October in a woodland area. Police said he would have been charged with murder had he been alive.
The inquest in June will examine "how he (Zalkalns) came to be in the country in the first place, given his convictions for murder and firearms offences".
Coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox said evidence would be heard about "what should have happened, what did happen".
Katerina Laiblova, Zalkalns' girlfriend, could be called to give evidence about his mental state before his death, the coroner said.
Twelve hospital trusts "did not have a single spare bed available last weekend", according to NHS England, external.
London North West Healthcare NHS Trust, Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust and Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust were full to capacity, with respectively 969, 929 and 826 full beds.
The statistics are for 30 November and 6 December.
Following the fatal shooting of a man close to Wood Green Crown Court during a Met police operation, a Ministry of Justice spokesperson said: "Following discussions with the police, there is an increased security presence at Wood Green Crown Court today.
"The court continues to operate as normal. We cannot comment on this incident as it is now subject to a police investigation."

The fatal shooting in Wood Green is the fourth time the Independent Police Complaints Commission has investigated police-related shootings in London.
A 29-year-old man accused of attempted murder after an incident at an east London Tube station has been remanded in custody.
Muhyadin Mire, who is being held in Belmarsh Prison, appeared via video link at a hearing at the Old Bailey.
He has been held since the incident on the 5 December which saw a 56-year-old man suffer serious stab wounds at Leytonstone Underground station.
Mr Mire will next appear before the court for a plea and case management hearing on the 7 March.
It is believed officers disrupted a suspected plot to free a prisoner from Wood Green Crown Court, during which a man was fatally shot.
Four men who were arrested this morning by the Met Police Organised Crime Command and Specialist Firearms Operational Command Unit are being held at separate police stations.
The men, aged 19, 25, 30 and 31, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to facilitate the escape of an individual from lawful custody, police said.
Two of them were held in the area of Bracknelll Close while the remaining two were arrested in Barratt Avenue.

"Imagine what I'd do if I was mayor?" Those were words of Conservative London Mayoral hopeful Zac Goldsmith onBBC Radio Londonthis morning.
He told Vanessa Feltz he was proud if he'd had an impact on delaying a decision onairport expansion.
But the underlying suggestion he was trying to put across here was clear:
If he were Mayor of London he is saying that he would have the power to influence big government decisions.
There is little doubt that Mr Goldsmith's pledge to quit as an MP in Richmond Park and North Kingston if Heathrow were given the go ahead created a very tricky situation for the government once he was selected as their mayoral candidate.
The Tories want to win in London next year, they don't want the embarrassment of a candidate for City Hall embroiled in sparking a parliamentary by-election. So Mr Goldsmith did indeed have influence.
But he's probably over egging the scale of his influence beyond that mayoral election because the government hasn't scrapped a third runway as he wanted them to do. It's just put it off for six months citing environmental concerns which we already knew existed.
And come the summer, Heathrow might be back on the table again.
For Labour all of this is clear politicking.
The Labour London mayoral candidate Sadiq Khan - who's done his own airport u-turn and now opposes Heathrow expansion as well - told BBC Radio London that the government's indecision was "a farce" and accused them of dithering".
The business community went further, calling the government "gutless".
But if the government's aim was to help their candidate's election hopes in London next year, all that criticism is something they can handle.
They say they still want to increase Britain's airport capacity by 2030 so a runway or new airport will have to be built somewhere.
Heathrow or Gatwick remain the most likely locations but, never one to miss an opportunity to revive a dead duck, the current Mayor of London and Uxbridge and South Ruislip MP Boris Johnson made clear on BBC Radio London that he is still holding out a few crumbs for his beloved Boris Island.
The married father-of-five has spent the last two weeks in jail after breaching the strict conditions of his release on 25 November.
But following legal argument at the Old Bailey, senior judge Mr Justice Holroyde allowed him to be re-bailed on the same conditions that were set by Mr Justice Saunders in September.
However, he will have to wait for a £15,000 surety to be provided before he can go back home to his wife and five children.
Radical preacher Anjem Choudary has once again been granted conditional bail at the Old Bailey as he awaits trial in the new year for allegedly inviting support for Islamic State.
The 48-year-old, from Hampton Road, Ilford, appeared along with co-accused Mohammed Rahman, 32 from Whitechapel, who faces the same charge.
It will gradually become drier from the north through the rest of this afternoon, with cloud thinning across Enfield and Epping around dusk.
