Future Infrastructure Developments

[Aviador]

As reported in the Consultative Committee Meeting. LBA has placed this on the airports website confirming their intention to initiate plans to enable the former terminal plans to proceed in the event of the government declining permission for the replacement terminal.

​

Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) plans for a replacement terminal have been awarded planning approval by Leeds City Council​

The proposal aims to dramatically improve passenger experience, deliver one of the UK’s most environmentally efficient airport buildings, and support the region’s economic prosperity.

Whilst we are waiting for a final Government decision on our transformational replacement terminal building, we are putting in place measures to make sure we can still meet the anticipated growth of up to 7 million passengers per annum. This will see LBA implement a consent secured in January 2019 for an extension to the existing terminal to provide the airport with an alternative option for growth.

Replacement terminal
The replacement terminal plans propose the construction of a new, three-floor terminal on an alternative site within the airport’s boundary. Prior to the submission, LBA engaged in an extensive consultative process, with thousands of residents and organisations across Yorkshire providing feedback on the proposed plans.
LBA estimates that as a result of the development, it will support 12,650 permanent jobs across the Leeds City Region, as well as creating 850 construction-related jobs over the period of the build.*

Gove is going to look silly if he rejects the super green terminal on environmental grounds only to find it’s substituted with an already approved far less green alternative. Let’s hope he’s aware of this, puts a bit of needed pressure on him.

Looks like he is already looking at over turning some rejected applications..

UK housing secretary Michael Gove rumored to be mulling approval of Foster + Partners' Tulip Tower

Foster + Partners’ hotly-contested Tulip Tower proposal in London may now spring to life once more as several UK outlets are reporting the £500 million ($691 million) scheme is set to be granted approval by housing secretary Michael Gove. Planned for the site opposite The Gherkin, the...

starting with London (shock) i honestly cant see it being rejected, but if it does its great LBA have a back up plan and are going to go ahead with the less friendly terminal

 

[Finger66]

This whole situation is actually quite comical and beggars belief. The new terminal is a no brainer compared to the alternative. But agree it's good to see alternative plans being pushed forwards which as you say may just apply some gentle pressure in the right areas

I've commented on my opinion on that article. Wharfedale Observer used to be a decent paper but seems to be becoming the Alex Sobel Observer.

Also the councillor Walshaw observer!

Clever move and this will certainly rattle cages. It will serve GALBA right to get the growth anyway and a dirty old terminal with yet another extension. Their objections will have resulted in a gain of nothing and not only won't there be a new carbon neutral terminal, there won't be the huge tree planting offset that was part of the new terminal proposal.

Talk about own goal! Complete mugs and now in check, with checkmate the next move for LBA.

You called it

 

[LBA4EVER]

Gove its upto you, approve the new ultra modern environmently friendly eco terminal or else we get on building our extension to a dirty 50year old building haha

Well done lba!!!! He surely has to pass it now! Is there any way he can call in or pause the old planning application? And can galba still launch an appeal against that one?

I don't believe it can as it has been formally approved.

 

[ls27]

Wasn't some ground works started?

 

[SierraHotel]

Yes, groundworks were undertaken to the east of the current terminal before the decision to construct a new build led to it being mothballed.

 

[White Heather]

There was a time limit to object to the 2019 plans, long gone now. The plans were passed with barely a whimper from the opposition as everyone was more interested in Brexit. Not sure GALBA even existed then..Shame they do now!

Even Sobel MP said nothing negative. In fact in 2019 he was very supportive. Then he apparently got knobbled by Green Lunatics.

I’ve got some old bricks in my back garden if they need some to match!!

That useless waste of space is definitely taking some form of payment from someone. Happy to request freedom of information on this. He recently was in Headingley where they shut off a major road to have a market but called it "no car zone" - he said he wanted more of this is Headingley and on a peremenant basis. If he used half an ounce of common sense he would realise Headingley and the roads are a major artery around North West Leeds. Connecting east/west and south/north and other bits also.

Definitely a green communist.

 

[CM.]

Well as a driver I always try my best to avoid driving through Headingley. It’s got to be the worst place in Leeds to drive it’s always busy so the fool can have his wish on that one as I will always avoid Headingley if I can. The main problem there is the noisy students some of which I guess complain about the aircraft noise and are GALBA fanatics. Not all of them but I’m sure many are( No doubt the ones that are try to get others on their side!)

Headingley is full of idiotic students who don’t have consideration for others.

I'm wondering when GALBA will become Insulate Leeds.
