The public are having their say after Leeds Bradford Airport confirmed work is due to get underway on a £100m terminal expansion.
Announced yesterday , the £100m regeneration scheme will see a 9,500 sq. mt., three storey extension to the existing terminal, alongside a significant refurbishment of the current building. Due to get underway in autumn 2023 and expected to complete in 2026, the expansion work has already been approved by Leeds City Council.
, said they had no objection to upgrading the terminal in a way that reduces its current carbon footprint. Group chair, Chris Foren said: “Flights cause the overwhelming majority of LBA’s climate damaging greenhouse gas emissions and there are two important points to note about the 2019 planning permission. “One that it does not permit an increase in passenger numbers above five million per year.
vigorously opposes LBA’s current CLEUD proposals to reinterpret those rules to allow more night time flying. will continue to oppose any plans to increase the number of flights from LBA because of the extremely negative impact this would have on the climate, noise levels and air pollution.” It is said that the regeneration will help Leeds Bradford to further decarbonise its operations, as outlined in the airport’s 2030 Net Zero Carbon Roadmap, with the installation of new heating, lighting and machinery, including new baggage belts.
