LBA Master Plan - Vision to 2030

[White Heather]

That will never happen in a million years.

You've got an anti aviation government with a bunch of spineless anti aviation Leeds based MP's and an anti aviation West Yorkshire mayor. And then a lot of moronic councillors.

On this occasion the Mayor has stated her support. Her statement is included in the publicity. Her support is vital as it may discourage the idiotic Labour MPs from kicking off about it. One of their famous five anti airport Leeds Labour MPs has recently lost the whip too whilst another has better things to worry about in her new role as chancellor.

I don't believe it will all happen, at least not for a long time. However, any government wanting tax revenue will have no choice to permit many developments.

Well the terminal is a definite, the stands, or at least some of them seem definite and don't need planning consent, the runway is a necessity and doesn't need planning consent, and it's unlikely that the council would oppose a hotel if and when that's built. Beyond 2030 who knows? If I'm still around by then I'll think about it at the time.

It should not be forgotten the original reason the government said airports should release masterplans was so airports couldn't supprise local communities about expansion. I think what has been laid out by LBA this time is basically what is achievable at LBA. Achievable doesn't mean it will all happen though.

I think anything beyond 2030 is just a strategic view. Nobody really knows what will be happening

i doubt this government will still be in charge after 2030…

Anyone know why the 2030 plan has one less dark blue building highlighted where Multiflight is? Presume is craven college

I can't believe we forgot to post this video. Within the video shows moving versions of the CGI already released. Hopefully an official flythrough will be available soon to give everyone a better idea of what we can look forward to,

Just had a watch, the video itself is high quality with some good camera footage and nice angles used! The video gives a very professional look.
It also shows quite a few new artist impressions of the outside of the terminal extension, i must admit I've only ever seen 1 image of what it will look like so good to see more images on here. Couple of points though, where that patterned design is located on the terminal extension to the right side (entrance rd side) the words "leeds bradford airport" could be located there as it would be really visible when arriving at the airport. And secondly when you exit the extension im guessing they will be a short walk to the left to the meet and greet car park as the main entrance road is not been relocated to pass in front of the extension?
Other than that i think the extension looks spot on with a good design/look to it, exciting times at LBA!

More images are on the REGEN thread...

There are a couple of images I've mist off which show more of the internal layout of the old parts of the terminal. I'll add them later today. Will be interesting to see those
