Future Infrastructure Developments

Did anyone else note the negative headline near the bottom of the piece which mentioned the
"Leeds Bradford Airport expansion". So they are maintaining their normally negative position, offset in this case with a generally positive slant. Wouldn't trust them.

Definitely wouldn't trust LeedsLive or that entire "(City)Live" network. Always writing rubbish.

It never really closed as the council said late comments would still be considered. It re-opened for 30 days after the airport had to submit an environmental report. Since then the Council have also got their own report from WSP so not sure if that being added to the mix resulted in yet another extension or not. Either way, people can continue submitting comments it would seem and they may still be considered. That said, I would think by now the Planning Officer already knows what is going to be recommended to the Plans Panel. I just hope to God it's a recommendation to approve due to this being vital to the to airports future, the city of Leeds, and the entire region.

Overall I would say it's fairly neutral. It does highlight the CO2 impact of more aircraft but there are positives too. It also highlights that unless approved and the revised night flight limits are agreed, LBA could operate as many night flights as they wish in the future, using new generation aircraft such as the 737 max or A320 Neo, as these types are so quiet they fall outside the current noise restrictions at LBA. The annual night time quota includes aircraft with noise levels above and beyond the noise generated by that type.
It therefore makes it clear that turning this down will potentially lead to more night flights in the future than there would be with the new terminal and new limits as proposed. For the likes of GALBA, a 'be careful what you wish for' factor.

really missing the sound of those airbus engines and the B757 in the early hours at present! :(
 
I'm always promoting the airport and fighting GALBA on social media.

I always lack a bit of technical knowledge. Would someone be able to give me a brief overview of what we already have plans for? As far as i'm aware we get a new terminal regardless? And have we already got approval for expansion in flight numbers? Any help appreciated

Firstly welcome to Forums4airports, it's good to have you with us!

The pre-existing plans have already been through the planning process. The plans if carried out would enable the airport to continue to grow passengers to 7.1mppa which was agreed during the previous planning process.

The airport no longer wishes to pursue with the old plans as they retain the old crumbling terminal building which doesn't meet the latest regulatory standards and it limits the airports ability to provide the customer service it wishes to offer it's passengers.

The new terminal would be a purpose built building and will reach BREEAM standard of excellence. The new terminal will enable the same number of passengers as previously planned for with facilities that are carbon neutral.

The new terminal location is within the airport boundary and so no green belt land will be used.

If the airport is unable to pursue with it's plans it could decide to proceed with the previous plans to increase passenger numbers.

If the airports current plans are rejected, it can continue to increase the number of night flights unhindered as there are currently no restrictions on the newest types of aircraft. If the plans for a new terminal are granted, new night time quotas would likely be implemented with new guidelines for the newest aircraft types.

survived a redundancy scenario where I work for the 3rd time. Now it looks likely I will get to cover work for 2 other teams.. Pretty please for a payrise? That would be a no and so stay on the min wage.

Well it looks like I'm off to Australia and New Zealand next year! Booked with BA from Manchester via Heathrow with a stop in Singapore and returning with Air New Zealand and BA via LAX to Heathrow. Will circumnavigate the globe and be my first trans-Pacific flight. First long haul flight with BA as well and of course Air NZ.
