Future Infrastructure Developments

[White Heather]

Sorry for being a little behind the times, but why does it even have to go to Jenrick ( apart from the issues being caused by ER) is it because its green belt land?

Yes. Any building of 1000m2 or more that is built in, or visually impacts on the green belt, has to be submitted and approved. The new terminal is on airport land, not green belt, but visually impacts on the green belt to the East due to its prominent location. Screening it with trees isn't really possible as they would have to be huge to achieve anything.

 

[White Heather]

Thick question. If the land is already within the airport boundary, how can it be classed as green belt? Surely, it is already classed as being for industrial/commercial use?

please see the reply above Bigman.

Many thanks.

So what we need to do now is to write to Mr Jenrick and say that we are going to get crowd funding to plant a large number of giant redwood trees to the East of the airfield which will block the view of the new terminal, which he should therefore get on and approve.

Complete with red obstruction lights attached to them!

No need. Just paint the squirrels in bright fluorescent paint. Job done!!

(Actually best not. That will start another protest group off. GASP – Group Against Painting Squirrels).

I have duly written to the Secretary of State adding my support for the approval.

Giant Californian Sequoias would be good at 250' high and a few metres across at the base when fully grown. Shame it takes them 200 years to get there though. No doubt GALBA would object on the grounds they are not native to the UK.

Just a gentle reminder how important it is that as many people as possible write to Robert Jenrick MP using the silly form on his Ministerial website, to ask that he approves the LBA terminal when submitted under Green Belt legislation and does not give in to GALBA and Alex Sobel's demands that he calls it in for a public inquiry.

We can be certain that GALBA fans will be doing so . If he gives in to them it will delay the project by 1 to 2 years, cost a fortune and could possibly kill our chances of ever seeing LBA flourish. There is no room for complacency! Let's not turn a positive into a negative by assuming we will get the right outcome!

Just to make sure people can see the link to the Secretary of State.
