Airport seeks legal clarification on night flying

[BCFC]

Trawling through the comments on the article I see the main person on the article - our friend Mr Tate, the group that shall not be mentioned committee member and flight stat compiler extraordinaire (facts he choses not to reference in his interview) tries to further justify his position ie
“I bought my house in 1999, AMP bought Leeds Bradford Airport in 2017, so I have been here 18 years longer them. They bought an airport near my house, not the other way round. And my house was built in 1930, when the airport was still a field, so wrong on all counts.

And they knew what they were buying: an airport with night time restrictions, so they need to honour those restrictions”.

Is this guy for real?? What has AMP got to do with anything?? Night flights were permitted way before he even bought his house near LBA! He moves there and now complains his sleep is disturbed - which of course even if LBA remained within the restrictions he refers to would still be the case!

That Andrew Tate is always in the news, one minute he's pimping in Romania or moaning about the noise at LBA…what a Pratt

Complaining about LBA is his hobby. An obsessive one. What a life! Totally wasted complaining about something he will never defeat. The problem is that these idiots start to believe their own nonsense. I wonder if other airports have similar pains in the backside who waste their lives counting aircraft movements ?

Manchester has Knutsford....

I'm disappointed with that DM article though. Whilst they have a couple of them looking glumly at the camera, there's no-one looking glum and pointing at an incoming flight, which is a must when reporting on people complaining about things surely?

Something is doing what sounds like full power engine testing at the airport. It's sounded like a jet taking off for the last 10 or 15 minutes. I can think of someone who as I type this will probably be logging a complaint.

Didn't hear a thing

Lasted about 20 minutes. Quite enjoyable really if you like the sound of a jet taking off for 20 minutes. Certainly noticed it here.

Update. It started again, not quite as loud, but still going for another hour.

It’s retaliation for the DM article!

Can the engine not be popped onto a low loader and parked outside a certain person's house while it's on test.

I wish I knew where some of these clowns lived would go park up outside there house and rev the backside of my bike

Have we any known next dates on this topic?

This is the UK. At least another 10 years before we hear any decision. We need at least a further 20 consultations. The same applies to the Parkway Station project.

The longer the better as long the airport continue to apply their current interpretation of the conditions.

 

[Seasider]

I think that the airport is of the opinion that their interpretation of the rules is correct, so they are carrying on as before.

Might as well anyway given the Council have said they're not intending to take court action to enforce it, and I suspect if the airport are successful with the outstanding CLEUDs then the Council will lose the right to enforce anyway under the 10 year rule.

New extension going up, the night flying saga having little or no effect on operations, all to the great annoyance of those who cannot be named who are increasingly powerless to stop the progress. These are good times.

Looks like the date has now moved out to 6/9/2024 according to the planning portal, no doubt it will move again…https://publicaccess.leeds.gov.uk/o...tails.do?activeTab=dates&keyVal=S5NAHTJBKV000

The longer it rolls on the better.

Presumably the date has changed yet again with the agreement of LBA. I wonder what lies behind all this?

Waiting until the group that shall not be named have found a way to get a life.
Seriously though, it's likely to take a while for the Council to find a way to wriggle out of this one!

The others were kicked down the road but that didn't help us.

They were rejected, not kicked down the road. But no, it was no help to LBA, although LBA continues to operate according to their interpretations, not the Councils, and the Council have so far declined to enforce their interpretation through the Courts.

I wonder why?
