LBA Masterplan consultation period closing
The ‘Route to 2030’ Strategic Development Plan replaces LBA’s 2005 Masterplan. It has been prepared in accordance with the Government’s 2013 Aviation Policy Framework. Alongside the SDP sits the Surface Access Strategy (SAS) which has also been updated to set out short, medium and long term plans for improving surface transport to the region.
Key headlines of the SDP are:
Timely expansion of the terminal building to deliver a two storey extension (planning permission secured)
Additional investment in terminal infrastructure
Expansion of aircraft stands, boarding gates and new taxiways
Upgraded airport entrance and commercial gateway development (both currently the subject of of a planning application)
Development of a ‘Commercial Hub’ and hotel in close proximity to the terminal
Rail connectivity linking Leeds, Bradford, Harrogate and York including ‘Parkway’ station and Tram Train / Light Rail options
Upgraded road access to LBA (currently in consultation)
Public transport and car parking enhancements
The public consultation period runs from 3 March 2016 to 30 April 2016 and the airport has arranged a series of locations for the documents to be viewed during March and April. Full details are available by clicking here.
