Future Infrastructure Developments

[White Heather]

I was under the impression that the current terminal will now remain and be converted to non passenger use. I may be wrong, White Heather may have more information on this.

The old terminal will remain in the short term until a new control tower is in place, but the intention remains that it is demolished eventually. I am pretty sure that is included in the planning application too.

Just logged into the airport planning application for its new terminal development and the seems to have been a lot of objections submitted today. I would strongly advise all members to add you own comments in support.

Its very easy to do just log onto the following website

20/02559/FU | Adjustments to the existing "airside" apron including demolition of existing passenger pier and ancillary accommodation, earthworks and site remodelling at the existing eastern parcel of the Airport apron to accommodate a new terminal building and forecourt area; A new terminal building and passenger piers; Construction of supporting infrastructure, goods yard and mechanical electrical plant; Relocation and extension of existing fuel storage tanks; Hard and soft landscaping including biodiversity works; Associated infrastructure/utilities, including drainage; Reconfiguration of existing car parking, and new car parking provision in the vicinity of the Viking Car Park. The provision for a new meet and greet building and separate parking inspection building. Additional car parking above the existing provision on site will only be provided if future assessments show there is a need. Additional car parking over the existing level would be phased and its delivery would be controlled through a planning review mechanism; New and modified vehicular (and pedestrian/cycle) access from Whitehouse Lane, including improved access for bus and coach to the new terminal building; New bus terminal and taxi drop off facilities to the front of the new passenger terminal; and Modifications to flight time controls to reflect current noise guidance, and to extend the daytime flight period | Leeds And Bradford Airport Whitehouse Lane Yeadon Leeds LS19 7TZ

YEP....Quelle suprise

Why does the YEP behave like this? I ask this because any other developments esp in the city centre they love to sell and promote!

All down to an anti LBA editor no doubt.

Telegraph & Argus are reporting a local group called Galba are opposed to the expansion of the airport, and are crow funding to cover the costs of a barrister. Link below to article

Like any forms of media (tv, radio etc) both sides of the argument should be heard unless it is something extreme where there is only one side to the argument. With the YEP there far too negative towards LBA.

I wouldn't even wrap my fish and chips in the YEP now, let alone buy it.

 

[White Heather]

I notice in the survey we have two members on here who oppose the terminal. Is it me, but I find it odd that anyone interested in the airport would then oppose the new terminal. Or are they interested at all?

Can you imagine eating your fish and chips having to look at all that codswallop!

I can't understand why the environmentalists do not support this. Building a new "Eco-friendly" Terminal instead of extending a "Non Eco-friendly" one.

Everything about this new terminal is eco-friendly, even plans in the future such as the park and ride station.

Because A) that is the limit of their intelligence B) They are like sheep and follow where they are told to which brings us back to point A

Useful for something else though, but we`ll leave that to the viewers imagination.

could do with some help in the facebook horsforth community group if anyone wants to back me up! a lot of positive comments from what I can see but some i need to try educate

A fairly balanced report on BBC look north this eve regarding the new terminal planned at LBA, the report also looked at the effects of the corona virus and air travel.

Unusually positive for the BBC. No complaints from me on that report. It concentrated on the airport and not on NIMBYs, Tree Huggers, or alleged Environmentalists.

Because they see the new terminal as the key to more flights, more noise, more pollution and all that stuff. They know that without it, LBA will never grow further, which is more in line with their overall intention. LBA to just die and go away altogether ideally.

 

[leedslad]

Such a flawed argument given it would just push people to pollute whilst driving to Manc to fly!

Didn't manage to catch Look North does anybody have a link?
