Planners to rule on Leeds Bradford Airport expansion
15.04.09
Leeds Bradford Airport’s £28 million plan for the development of its passenger terminal goes before planners tomorrow. The airport has said that the scheme will transform the site and help prepare it for the next decade of air travel and is part of a £70m package of improvements over the next five years.
Planners are being asked to approve a two-storey extension to main airport terminal building to provide new entrance, improved internal facilities and associated landscaping works to the terminal building forecourt at the airport.
If approved, the initial scheme could be completed by the middle of this year, with the new facilities ‘best in class,’ and seen as an important step in catering for an anticipated increase in passengers from the current 3 million per year to 5 million by 2013, creating up to 2,000 new jobs. However, there are concerns about the environmental impact of the airport’s expansion plans and the massive increase in passenger numbers.
