Future Infrastructure Developments

[LBA4EVER]

Just announced on bbc look north!

Nope. The councillors have said the conditions they want is that the nighttime new hours ONLY operate once the terminal is fully functional. If they were restricting a quiet "zone" if you will (Like LHR) it would have been a 10-4 victory. As CNCL Campbell would of voted in favour.

Fair enough I miss heard so no night time quiet period

They banged on about the airports contribution to the parkway but i got the impression the process wasnt yet at the point at which the airport had been asked to contribute. In other words the airport hadnt agreed to contribute but it hadnt said it wouldnt either.

The real fireworks start now. Fully expect GALBA to file a judicial review, followed by timewasting and litigation tactics.

Irony could be the UK government blocks airport expansion in Leeds that local government approved..... and forces through airport expansion at Heathrow that local government rejected. #hardworkstartsnow

“Judicial review (JR) is the process of challenging the lawfulness of decisions of public authorities, usually local or central government. The court has a "supervisory" role - making sure the decision maker acts lawfully. It is important to understand that a JR is not a re-run on the merits of the decision but a challenge to the lawfulness of the decision that was made.”
Let’s hope that all the avenues for such a review have been closed.

They kept banging on about this. Ironic if they make the airport contribute yet it's main use will be a park & rail.

GALBA wont give up without a fight.

Look b****y North still very negative about something that should be highly celebrated for WY. Stuff GALBA now common sense has prevailed. GET IN

Why? LBA doing this is in line with Government policy on aviation! They are encouraging making greater use of Regional airports to take pressure off SE airports. It's also within the CO2 budget for LBA set by Government.

Great news, well done and thanks to all involved! Made my year in these horrible times

Which is why it's taken so long - trying to ensure there is no legal challenge possible. GALBA were crowd funding to challenge in court but they will have to have some case against the process to do so, or it could cost them a lot of money!

Yeah try telling that to Councillor Walshaw. You'd think we was sentencing 10,000,000 to their deaths.

The one that apparently was tweeting GALBA during the meeting?

 

[leedslad]

What annoys me the most is the councillors against ignore the fact that blocking this would increase flights at Manc and the co2 therefore would be higher...

Congratulations from Brum, I saw the piece from LBAYORKIE live, and Cohen and Murison, all good speakers with compelling arguments!

Do we have an idea which airlines would be interested in starting flights with the new facility? I’m guessing Air France, Lufthansa, eurowings, SAS?

 

[deepdale2]

Many thank's to the founder's for their considerable time & effort put in place for the LBA Support Group. Also I wish to thank every-one else who has done their part.

 

[LBA4EVER]

So during these bad times when aviation is literally on its knees its fantastic that we have a new exciting development going on behind the scenes ready for when hopefully the aviation industry picks up, id say its the best time going for this announcement to happen.

 

[louis_walton]

Great news for all involved. Massive thanks to everyone involved in the LBA Support Group, and @LBAYORKIE for speaking on behalf of the group. The future looks brighter than ever for LBA. I hope everyones blood pressure has retuned to a normal rate now!

Leeds Bradford Airport Support Group Statement following decision by Leeds City Council’s city plans panel to approve 9 votes to 5 "with considerations" Leeds Bradford Airports £150 million Terminal Building planning application.

View attachment 21483

For immediate release

February 11th 2021

After 9 hours of deliberations and more than 100 pages of planning details later, Leeds City Council's Plans Panel committee members have this evening voted 9 to 5 in favour to approve “with considerations" Leeds-Bradford Airport's NEW £150 million Terminal Building.

We at the LBA Support Group are pleased to see a common sense outcome that support 100's of construction jobs at a time when they are needed the most. This project will create a better gateway to the Leeds City region and the whole of Yorkshire. The Investment will secure many jobs already benefiting from the airport and contribute to economic growth with new jobs created in both the aviation and travel industry. The new terminal will meet all the latest standards required including being BREEAM excellence rated as we move towards a carbon neutral future whilst also committing the airport to further improving public transport access.

Further considerations with changes to the conditions to be negotiated by officers:
The main considerations are. Primarily Leeds Bradford Airport increasing its funding towards the LBA Parkway Rail Station from the current allocated £1.5 million, Improve the approach roads and letting Hackney Carriage Taxi's on the airports onto the airports forecourt. Other considerations are to plant more trees and shrubs around the area to offset further carbon emissions.

Ends

No idea. LBA never say a word about such matters. I am sure they have a list of destinations and airlines they are keen on though. They have 2 to 3 years to get them onboard . After this delay and still more negotiations to come, plus approval by the Minister due to get belt rules, I can't see it being ready now until 2023/4. I don't think they will make Summer 23.
