Future Infrastructure Developments

[lbaspotter]

What about such papers as The Huddersfield Examiner, Halifax Courier, or the Craven News?

The Media in north Yorkshire would be a sensible area to target, esp Harogate, Knaresborough and ripon heading upto the north east as LBA is a key airport for those living in them areas.

Off top of me head the "LBA Support Group" Statement was sent out to all the following outlets via email or twitter. In quite a few cases both, The maybe others that I've missed.

If you know of any where else to send this to either please let me know on here or via the LBA Support Group Twitter feed, failing that you could always send one yourself, so I've attached a copy of the PDF Document to this post. Thanks

Leeds Bradford Airport could have most environmentally friendly terminal in UK, and help with economic recovery after Covid-19 - Hywel Rees, airport CEO

Leeds Bradford Airport has applied for planning permission to replace its terminal building, which was built in 1965.

WH is correct, although it may sometimes not appear to be the case, planning applications are not determined on the basis of support v opposition! Representations of support and objection and the points which they raise (where relevant and valid) are a material consideration and must be addressed in the planning balance. However, in the case of this application the greatest weight will be given to the points highlighted in the 'fact sheet' published by LBA and re-iterated in the LBA Support Group Statement:
- In particular the national and local policies which support the development of LBA
- The planning consents which LBA has for its current and proposed operations
- Consent for the extension to the terminal which constitutes a fall back position which is inferior operationally and environmentally to the new proposal
- The issue of aviation CO2 emissions which is not for local determination

I hope that the extension of the period for representations is to head off any grounds for a deferral of a decision/challenge when the application is finally considered by LCC.

How about Rachael Maskell MP York Central?

It would be the icing on the cake though to go from the worst terminal in the country to the newest and best!

Would it be worth putting the statement on to Facebook community websites like: Pudsey Born and Bread, Farsley Community, Horsforth Community, etc?Especially with an emphasised point that the terminal currently is inadequate (which everyone who's flown from LBA knows) and that a new one would offer more flights and airlines? I think would be enough for general pax to support the terminal. When I have spoke to family and friends they happily signed simply because the terminal is sh*t!!!!!!

How about Rachael Maskell MP York Central?

She would send an objection in.

They would moan about increased traffic even though the LBA airport terminal development has nothing to do with increased traffic but more to do with the constant and never ending building of new houses with a road network that was adequate for the 1960's and has never been modified since.

I don’t think targeting Wakefield and Huddersfield areas would go a miss either, Wakefield Express would be a good start if somebody could contact? I’ve seen a few support messages from Wakefield area.

I guess you didn't read the post where I've listed everywhere that has been contacted that Includes Wakefield, Huddersfield, Halifax, Harrogate & York along with Leeds & Bradford https://forums4airports.com/threads/100/page-164#post-196977

Unless you have some other idea's like local Facebook groups that you know of, please let me know..

I'll put that on me next hit list. Thanks @ls27

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm not a member of any of them Facebook Groups. It you are please can you post it onto them for us @louis_walton?

I've attached copy of Statement in PDF Document

I am in the Pudsey and Farsley groups so will speak to the admin tomorrow about a post.

If anyone is involved in any other groups such as Horsforth, Kirkstal, Ilkley, Guisley and so on could they reach out to admin or post the statement?

I think if we really emphasise to general customers of the airport that new airlines will be interested in LBA, there will be more retail outlets, a larger more efficient building, etc it may work.

I'm just wary that the comment section might be very full and argumentative on facebook ,but no new comments will appear on the LCC application.

 

[LBA4EVER]

Facebook half the time is a waste of time, I just seem to end up arguing with clueless people! but there are a few educated ones that do understand and its those ones where im asking them politely if they would just leave a small support comment on the LCC Website. Like pointed out on here if we get the message across that they will be more flights to the popular holiday destinations at potentially a lower price, plus new routes to other popular places that are not currently served from Leeds then the general public im sure would want to hear that!

 

[LBA787]

Rachel Reeves Leeds West MP has put in a formal objection letter.

I’ve sent her a message on the Facebook post she proudly announced it on.

It boils my piss!!

 

[Aviador]

I honestly think LBA should say look, we're expanding to 7m passengers. If you don't want a BREEAM standard carbon neutral terminal we'll just proceed with the previous plans to allow 7m passengers with already approved plans. It's that simple.

The trouble the council has here is so many people are thinking they are stopping airport expansion, but they are not. They had their chance to stop expansion two years ago but they didn't. New proposals that are frankly so much better, and they suddenly notice LBA.

 

[JRP]

I have just sent Rachael Reeves a really poop email as she is my local MP, finishing it off with I won’t vote for you ever again
Mind you I do t expect a reply just like I had none from LCC councillors

 

[Aviador]

Are you going to share your poop email to her with us?

 

[Aviador]

An MP has a lot of clout but I honestly think the airport has a case here if the council refuse the application based on it's merits. This is not NEW expansion it's several years old and two years old prior to the Paris agreement.

Just submitted my comment on her Facebook page, she obviously hasn't bothered to check any facts about the new terminal thinking this is purely about expending passenger numbers from 4m to 7m. The airport already has this planning permission for extending the old terminal. This gives us the opportunity to build a carbon neutral brand new terminal which the region desperately needs. No doubt she will remove my post from her Facebook account but I will just keep reposting it if needed.
