Future Infrastructure Developments

In respect of the application currently with RJ, is anyone aware as to whether the application can be revised by him, for example adding or changing the S106 agreements to facilitate approval?

Don't think so. He either approves it or calls it in for a public inquiry, but the public inquiry inspector can then make recommendations (which may involve restrictions) and RJ can choose to implement them, or ignore them.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. Some if us want to see this terminal in use before time is up on this planet!

With reference to the council planning meetings it was mentioned by one of the councillors that if the application went to a public enquiry and passed at a later date that S106 agreements would likely not have to be fulfilled.

Wasn’t the work on building the new terminal suppose to start at the end of last year? And open by 2024?

The main issue here is that Boris is anti LHR's 3rd runway and thus aviation in general. On the one hand he's an environmentalist, on the other he's trying to keep industry happy. So he wants to be a world leader at the climate change conference in the UK later in the year and set incredulous targets for the aviation sector in terms of emissions. Sometimes you just can't keep everyone happy and have to make decisions based on business acumen.
I just don't know how it will play out as these climate change policies have now backed Jenrick into a difficult position.

They can't while the government hold the plans.

I know the government have currently halted the plans, but I meant when the plans were first made public in January 2020.

 

[Heathrowflyer]

Nope, everything on hold until Jenrick approves...if we'd been a year earlier it would have got through prior to these new emissions targets.

Foren is at it again. Zzzzzz

Airport public inquiry is perfectly reasonable way forward - YEP letters

A survey about expansion plans at Leeds Bradford Airport can be interpreted more than one way, says the chairperson of a campaign group. Do you agree?

We need a public inquiry into GALBA. As for him he’s not even bothered to read the plans has he? Just jumping to conclusions rather than looking at the actual facts here.

Pete Foulston and Chris Foren seem to be singing of the same hym sheet at the moment.

Oh he has looked at the facts. He doesn't want LBA to be there at all. Anything that delays and potentially pushes business elsewhere is good in his eyes. He is also a member of the Green Party according to various things I have read.

Same person?

I’ve got into some arguments with this Pete bloke today on Twitter. He goes on about the airports profits being shipped of to Australia and brings up an old story from Jet2 about the pilot redundancies. Which I don’t think he has the faintest of clue that we’re in a pandemic, and aviation like most industry’s have been badly affected by this pandemic hence why redundancies have had to be made.

So does he apply his thoughts to every inward investor. What about the 2700 jobs supported by the airport in 2019 and the local shops, businesses and inbound tourism that benefit from the airport.

Probably not, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was one person.

Probably not as he doesn’t care about people’s jobs or livelihoods. He just seems like a very negative person in general by looking at his Twitter account and looking at his tweets.
