Future Infrastructure Developments

[LBA4EVER]

and a MASSIVE thankyou to LBAYORKIE!!

So I know one of the overnight hours thing one they want is something like this:

The new hours will not begin until the new terminal is functional and operating. Seems fair. It's not actually restricting they want it is opening the hours up only when we have the new terminal fully functioning.

Taxi is they want more then one provider. Seems fair as Arrow are expensive at best, and you need a loan at worse.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Still worried if the flying hours etc are still up for discussuon

 

[LBA787]

Fantastic news, live been watching for 9 hours!

9-5 great result!!

I few concessions to be made but it looks like it’s going ahead.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

What were the conditions to 'negotiate"...I got increased flights, traffic, taxis (!) ...was there anything else?

I know one or two of the councillors stated that they cannot plant anymore trees around the airport due to safety. So they'd want them to do it offsite - e.g. Chevin. That was one of the councillors suggestions.

Them conditions look sound to me.

right im off to chill now, spent 9hrs watching the meeting today, shattered haha

Think they want a quite period through the night and don't want the new hours to come.in until moved into terminal that was my take on it

 

[leedslad]

Sure they also wanted to stipulate no flights at all for 4-5 hours nightly guaranteed which is no issue for us anyway (just needs formalising)?

How have you not punched something. I did the summing up for an hour then the vote. I need to calm down. Some proper wet wipes of councillors. Some very capable politicians also who need to be more in government etc.

Nope. They want the new terminal operational first before new nighttime hours are in operation.

The CNCLR for Yeadon wanted to support providing silence for 4 hours a night.

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

They wanted also something about surface access. But they were the ones who rejected the three proposed highways, preferably A which would of greatly assisted.

 

[Len Fish]

Be interesting to see the reaction of GALBA & Co. Should we be magnanimous in victory? Hell no!

 

[Heathrowflyer]

I'm guessing for surface access read more money given to the council to pay for it.

 

[LBAYORKIE]

I remember someone saying in the meeting that the airport had been approached previously about a quiet period but wouldnt play ball.

 

[XEROX]

The real fireworks start now. Fully expect GALBA to file a judicial review, followed by timewasting and litigation tactics.

Irony could be the UK government blocks airport expansion in Leeds that local government approved..... and forces through airport expansion at Heathrow that local government rejected. #hardworkstartsnow

Councillor Campbell was droaning on about it. Only for another councillor to say he lives 1 mile away and doesn't hear a peep.

Some of them wanted the airport to contribute more to the train station I believe..... the night time flying conditions worries me if the airport want the terminal they will have to accept what ever condition the council propose is that correct?

I was shouting at my laptop screen many times, and stormed out the room a few times haha

Nope. The councillors have said the conditions they want is that the nighttime new hours ONLY operate once the terminal is fully functional. If they were restricting a quiet "zone" if you will (Like LHR) it would have been a 10-4 victory. As CNCL Campbell would of voted in favour.
