Future Infrastructure Developments

I would love to know where they get the figure 1000's extra flights from. Deluded sheep.

I do think LBA should be running a campaign supporting the new carbon neutral terminal and the fact that they're not expanding beyond currently planned limits.

 

[Aviador]

I think at this stage everybody who is against the proposals will have objected just about. It's like the dodgy restaurant meal where you tell everybody it was absolutely disgusting, yet when it was a great meal you tell hardly anybody.

Anyone got a printer and some wallpaper paste?

Reckon that no could easily be changed to a go

With some white paint for the lies

The planning history is a bit convoluted, but here's my understanding:

Planning permission was granted in 2009 for the 'infill' extension at the front of the building.

A legal agreement (Section 106) was signed on 14 December 2009. This basically attaches a number of conditions to the planning permission and if the airport fail to honour them, they can be taken to court. The conditions were mainly about the airport paying for contributions to busses and traffic monitoring

https://publicaccess.leeds.gov.uk/o...31249B03BC7F4/pdf/08_06944_FU-S106-221917.pdf

That legal agreement has been ‘ported‘ over to the 2018 application to the eastern end, so it is still in force. One is about bus contributions and the fact that once the airport exceeds 5m, different rules might not apply.

The other is probably where the confusion arruses

"No later than 12 months of the annual passenger throughput at the airport under the planning permission exceeding 4.5M, LBIA shall submit a planning application together with full supporting information including a transport assessment, draft travel plan and heads of terms for a planning obligation for such further development at the airport requiring express planning permission as would be necessary to facilitate an annual passenger throughput in excess of 5M"

it’s obviously all legal speak and I suppose could be interpreted a number of ways. What I don’t think it is is a legal cap on the number of passengers using the airport. A legal cap on passengers is a big deal and i can’t believe it would be just one clause at the end of agreement. It would also have come up repeatedly in the council‘s assessment of the 2018 application and it never did. Instead I think its based on the assumption at the time that an extended terminal could only be able to cope with 5m per annum and a further extension would be required to allow further growth. Others might have a different interpretation

Where is that?, if only to go and see it in person so I can be sure it's not a photoshop job.

Sure there's a breach of the Advertising Standards code somewhere on that billboard.

Very good point.

The sign is illegal. Wish I was was still working, as would have been in the skip.
by now. (I did have the legal powers to remove it.)

Don't know where the big one is, but 2 smaller ones on the ring road heading towards the Leeds Porsche Centre & believe it or not, one actually on the airport approach road!

I’m 99.9% sure that it’s Hyde Park Corner on the cross roads opposite the Hyde Park Pub.

Right in the heart of student land. No surprise there then!
It's such a noisy spot I doubt they can even hear the planes and the traffic pollution is what they should be worrying about there.

haha students that come into our city then dictate what we can and cant have! I must state though it must be the snowflake students because not all are like this, many are decent and genuinely want to learn, progress and are not narrow minded!

 

[leedslad]

Still never forgiven my fellow students that years ago blocked Mcdonalds opening on my uni campus... Most of them would likely have left by the time it would have opened, and they could always have voted with their feet... Meanwhile a dodgy kebab shop opened instead serving less healthy food with likely much lower animal welfare standards... But I digress ha

 

[leedslad]

Really clear confirmation from the airport for all those objecting on environmental grounds

Leeds Bradford Airport boss says 'we are not expanding'

Hywel Rees, chief executive of the airport, who says he is keen to address a "really common misconception" about controversial plans to build a new terminal

www.leeds-live.co.uk

 

[White Heather]

Good to see the boss out there clarifying what we have been debating for the last few days, and confirming we are right and the opponent's are again, wrong.
Interesting it says around 2000 comments and Mr Rees says almost half in favour though. There were almost 2000 a couple if weeks ago last time LBASpotter gave us an update. I would be very surprised if the gap between for and against hadn't widened somewhat since then based on the negativity and lies I keep seeing on line.

 

[Coathanger16]

I'm afraid those kind of comments from the airport management don't go down well with opponents of expansion.

During the planning of LHR Terminal 4, the airport ruled out a 5th Terminal.

During the planning of LHR Terminal 5, the airport ruled out a third runway.

So far during planning for the third runway, the airport has ruled out a fourth runway.

I know this is Leeds and not Heathrow, but to these kind of people that doesn't matter. They view all airports the same.

Yes but crucially this is not an application to expand. The council has already granted permission for 7m passengers. This only replaces previous plans with something more sustainable.

The sad fact is that opponent's of airports think that every word spoken is a lie. Ironic in this case as just about every word spoken by those opponent's is most definitely a lie!!
