Future Infrastructure Developments

[LBA4EVER]

Some of the Leeds Uni bunch live in Manchester so I imagine they must commute in their gas guzzling 4x4s to Leeds where they preach their global warming gospel.

Ah right so they live in mancs where their 30million pax per year polluting airport is with 1billion expansion under way!

Perhaps they are secretly working for MAN so the upstart airport over the Pennines doesn't get too big for its boots.
I don't recall seeing or hearing mass protests from them about MAN's expansion plans!

Well they did have big protests getting nationwide attention led by the likes of the BBC, Gaurdian and the rest of the right on crowd when they were building the second runway incudng some burke called swampy who thought digging and living in a tunnel would solve the problem.

Wonder if he ever got a proper job, somehow I doubt it.

I appreciate the LBA Project is environmentally friendly so different but it doesn't stop the fruitcakes

 

[White Heather]

Yes I remember that - although I was thinking along the lines of their current huge expansion plans.

Some of the Leeds Uni bunch live in Manchester so I imagine they must commute in their gas guzzling 4x4s to Leeds where they preach their global warming gospel.

And that makes you wonder what their real agenda is. I mean, do they kick up a stink about Manchester Airport, which is vast compared to LBA, is in the middle of massive expansion, and probably emits more Co2 in a day than LBA does in a month?

Some lovely walk ways all around the second runway at MAN, the tunnel where the river bollin flows under the runway is very impressive. one min its really quiet and you can hear all the nature then next min you get the raw of an aircraft passing by! lots of good view point as well.

Probably been given a peerage by Boris

I have been sent the attached link today by Charles Johnson (LBA) who asked if I could post it on here for people to see. It relates to the future production of green aviation fuel.

Yorkshire and Humber could lead the way with greener aviation - Neville Hargreaves

ANNOUNCING plans to create a new Jet Zero Council, the Transport Secretary Grant Shapps spoke of the determination within the aviation sector to have a greener restart, and the Government’s desire to demonstrate flight across the Atlantic without harming the environment within a generation.

Good news for aviation. Terrible news for GALBA. They should be delighted about this prospect, IF they are genuinely interested in the environment. But they won't be delighted at all, because they are only interested in themselves.

The Yorkshire Post has today published a letter from Airport's CEO Hywel Rees which is in reply to the above article that @White Heather posted on here last week.

Leeds Bradford Airport can take on environmental challenges - Yorkshire Post Letters

From: Hywel Rees, CEO, Leeds Bradford Airport.

Aviation is not going to stop, it's a forward progression of humanity but I think we can all agree in that we need to make it cleaner. It's not just a vision, it will happen.

Not sure if these internal pictures of the New £150 Million Terminal Development have been posted on here before, But here you go taken from the routes online website.

Looks nice!

 

[Aviador]

The only one we hadn't seen fully was the last one which in my opinion is the most impressive of them all so far as you get a real feel for the scale of the plans.

 

[LBA787]

Do we have a date whereby the plans panel will discuss the terminal?

 

[Wardair166]

The latest I heard was sometime in September but due to several public consultation extensions, could well be later than September.

More public consultations, seriously? We've had the consultations, that's ridiculous if true.

Welcome to bureaucratic Britain, specialists in delaying and preventing progress, especially this side of the Pennines.

 

[TheLocalYokel]

What sometimes holds things up is the time needed by the local authority's professional planning officers to fully investigate an application in order to present detailed recommendations to the lay planning committee that will make the decision.

At BRS it took 14 months from the time the planning application was lodged with the local authority until the planning committee met to determine it. The planning officers' report was 235 pages long.

 

[Len Fish]

Yet in spite of all that and the expert recommendation being that the planning application be accepted the Council still rejected it. Let’s hope Leeds City Council have more common sense and allow the new LBA terminal to be built.

I hadn't noticed before, but the escalators in the first picture seem to go into the roof!

I have a fear of heights (apart from been on a plane) so had noticed them escalators myself, they go real high up! It genuinely is a really good terminal that will put LBA ahead of most other airports here and in europe, LCC need to also use this new terminal to their advantage to promote the city with their eco designed terminal that's better than the rest.
