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.
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.*
