Future Infrastructure Developments

[LBAYORKIE]

Thanks for confirming.

 

[White Heather]

I'm 100% certain I've read online within the planning application the existing terminal building will be totally demolished, as the site has been ear marked by the airport's owners for new future use. It wont be demolished straight after the change over seen as they'll have to wait until a replacement ATC Control Tower is in place.

You are correct. It will be demolished but not immediately. They do need a new tower first and once demolished, the airport have plans for future developments on the site of the current terminal.
The planning application does indeed clearly states that the current terminal will be demolished.

Only when we've got rid of this incompetent bunch of councillors at Leeds City Council who think flying with JET A-1 is never going to be replaced with more environmentally friendly fuel or become quieter.

Just get the feeling that even if aircraft were completely silent and emission free the Labour MPs, the planning Councillors, GALBA and ER would still find reasons to oppose any airport planning application.

Yes, the're Nimbys.

Most of the time they're NIMBYBOISEs - Not In My Back Yard But Ok In Someone Else's

Perhaps with a few BANANAs thrown in (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone)

 

[LBA4EVER]

yet all these new housing developments approved in Bramhope, Menston and today in horsforth that will increase noise, pollution and more traffic, absolute madness and contradicting by LCC!

 

[Bigman]

I bet if you said that they were going to shut the place down and replace it with an eco-friendly carbon-neutral wind farm, they would still have a good moan about it.

See that Leeds City Council are pleading with the Government not to impose even stricter lockdown rules because of the detrimental economic effects yet at the same time seem willing not to back a project that will bring both short and long term prosperity to the city and beyond. Totally crazy, the lunatics are definitely in charge of the Planning Committee if they don’t pass the planning application.

 

[ZB757]

Sure if this gets rejected the airport should go straight to the government aka Boris and be like.. look at this hypocritical lunatics? honestly LCC is beyond me

 

[White Heather]

The Council are also asking that HS2 comes to Leeds sooner than planned to help the city recover from Covid. Even if it did, it's a decade away. How can they ask for this to help recovery yet reject a plan for LBA which will have the same sort of impact, but in less than half the time?

 

[Bigman]

And just to make it worse, it looks like the Eastern leg of HS2 has been canned. They are not bothered about this side of the Pennines, they are only bothered about Manchester.

Claims HS2 Leeds leg will be scrapped 'simply not true', says Transport Minister

A government Minister says it is "simply untrue" to say the Eastern leg of HS2 going through Leeds and Yorkshire is to be scrapped.

The eastern leg of HS2 between Leeds and Sheffield could be delivered under the NPR/HS3 proposals - hopefully they'll then link that up to the rest of HS2.

The image below shows HS2 as dark blue/grey and NPR/HS3 as purple:

As things stand it looks rather cluttered and could be laid out much better, so hopefully they'll deliver the western leg of HS2 and NPR/HS3, and redesign the eastern leg to make better use of NPR/HS3, i.e.

Stage 1: Build HS2 Phase 1
Stage 2: Build HS2 Phase 2 (western leg only)
Stage 3: Build NPR/HS3 (trains run from Leeds to London via Manchester - still quicker than today)
Stage 4: Fill in the gaps on the eastern side of the network

Shame that the East of England is being considered behind other areas but hopefully it won't be completely forgotten about.

So let me get this right;

HS2: TAXPAYERS money running out of control on this project.
Danger of either not being completed or delayed-more overrun costs.
Local politicians up in arms because of possible lost investment and impact on economy.
Where are the local environmentalist now and the NIMBYs
Leeds City Centre:
Stop traffic going through the middle.
Build miles of unnecessary and underused cycle ways.
Encourage people to use public transport on out of date infrastructures and unfriendly fuels.
Take money from the ELOR project(bypass link to outer ring road) to help fund this vanity project.
Horsforth.
Approve housing development on former college site next to one of the busiest road junctions in Leeds.
It’s okay though it was a greenfield site !!
Increased traffic and more pollution.
Poor public transport infrastructure.
The NIMBYs are apparently irrelevant or disinterested.
Conservative Central Office annexe.
I bet whatever they want LCC will fall over themselves to agree to it.
It will be interesting to see how the MPs etc. are going to get to the office.
LBIA.
Investor funding,
Environmentally friendly,
Environmentally driven industrfuel development
Economic and investment driver, not just locally but regionally.

Oh, nearly forgot already approved terminal development for passenger increase driven by Government Regional
Airport forecasts to 2030.
People should also not be allowed to go abroad or visit this country for enjoyment because a handful of light sleepers miss out on their sleep.
You cannot make this up.

Joined up thinking and politicians don't often go together I'm afraid.

Any doubters at the Council about the terminal development should just read this:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ter-Airport-owner-cut-800-jobs-virus-hit.html

I'm getting angry about the amount of jobs that are going while we (Leeds)sit around and let them just disappear. MAG group is saying chances of recovery before 2023/24 is slim and bookings aredown 90 per cent. Leeds must protect aviation jobs and develop the terminal.

HS2 Leeds = Hapless Support 2 Leeds and LBA to LCC must mean Lets Build Alternatives to Look Completely Contradictory

 

[LBA4EVER]

LCC simply have to approve this new terminal because the current one really will be truly out of its sell buy date, not fit for purpose, over 50year old, poor disabled access etc. It really is truly amazing that we have a global investment company (amp) who is willing to invest £150million into lba to give us and the city of leeds a state of the art terminal and facilities that will promote the city to Europe, bit like a certain footy team at the moment, LCC should welcome this with open arms and use it to their advantage! I still think it will be approved but if not what an utter disgrace!
