Climate Change: Government may review road-building policy

It follows a legal challenge from campaigners, who argue the policy does not fit with climate targets.

www.bbc.co.uk

I hope there aren't more general implications to this challenge to the government's climate change policy.

I did not dare check my phone for the decision until 0530 this morning. Yesterday was such an emotional rollercoaster. I feel quite drained but jubilant. I've just had my first drink in months to toast LBA!!! Well done everyone.

Official statement now released by LBA Chairman, Andy Clarke now showing on the airport social media streams.

Do we have any detailed airfield layout information post transformation showing stands etc?

 

[Sherburnflyer92]

Looking at the picture there, the "old ball stands" (named that's as local passengers get off sometimes and go "bloody hell parked in Old Ball") have been moved further along the taxiway - parallel to the current stands.

Would also appear there is a few stands where the old terminal used to be.

Now I do wonder what will happen to - Cargo operations, Alpha building, the security house/offices and let's not forget the head office of Jet2.

This isn't necessarily a finalised layout but it gives you an idea. Only the shaded grey areas are actually new stands which replace the stands where the replacement terminal building will go.

How many stands in total? (Unable to determine)

Have another look at the video issued by LBA when they announced the terminal. It was posted again by Aviador earlier today and shows clearly what the layout is going to be.

I can't tell you how happy I am...this means security for jobs at LBA. Thank you all for your fantastic hard work

Leeds City Council statement on airport planning decision

LEEDS Council has issued a statement following a decision on a major planning application from Leeds Bradford Airport.

The Wharfedales article on the Councils Statement. One of the first I have seen that doesn't undermine good news with a negative comment within the headline.

Sounds like a well prepared report to get the planning. Well done guys to all that had a hand in it.

Is that the one I saw which said the planning was needed for a new terminal and 7 million FLIGHTS a year !
They could do with a new article proof reader in the team.

All the articles written by Richard Beecham are garbage. That bloke has an agenda that mirrors the GALBA agenda. I feel for the people who take the Wharfedale Observer having to put up with that c..p on a regular basis. However the article LBAYORKIE makes reference to is by Annette McIntyre who sounds like a proper reporter in comparison to Beecham. I might be wrong, as a one time reader, but that is the way it sounds to me.

The airports CEO Vincent Hodder has posted this message on his Linkedin account on Thursday night just after the decision by LCC was made to accept planning approval.

#lba #lcc | Vincent Hodder | 16 comments

Great news tonight with the Leeds City Council Panel approving, subject to additional conditions, our planning application for the new terminal building at Leeds Bradford International Airport. This brings us one step closer to our mission of creating an Outstanding regional airport connecting...

Lets get moving the project forward asap and hope any restrictions LCC put in the way are not too severe.

How many stands in total? (Unable to determine)

There are 24 stands on that plan, but I am fairly sure that the plan is to extend those two new stands in the middle towards the West as and when required. There is space to add several more. In the plan the large aircraft in front of the terminal appears to be using up two stands, each of which can be recognised by the Centreline.

 

[Wardair166]

I too count 24 which is only an additional 2 from current count. Seems quite a modest increase.

I am sure that if the demand is there, the number will be increased. If for example, a certain airline currently not seen here sign up to base 2 A320s, and we still have 2 based Ryanair and perhaps 18 Jet2, the KLM, and an Eastern, they still all have a bed for the night with 24 stands. Any growth beyond that should prompt an extension to the central stands shown on the plan.
