The council is getting the airport operator to put in gradual increase planning applications at 1 million per application to 22.5 million passengers as this can be achieved within the exiting boundary. This is why there is a tender out to add 6 stands. The airport operator is claiming the extra stands are part of the original planning permission for 18 million but were never built when clearly it is not the case.
Honesty is something both the airport operator and the council struggle with as they try to hoodwink the public, opposition groups and other councils.
Tender is in for a Artisan bar serving craft beers in Landside- wondered how long it would be before alcohol was available again landside and a pharmacy style outlet is also planned.
There were plans to add a couple of market stalls landslide so maybe one of those will sell beer.
Talking to one of the contractors it appears the late opening of the second MSCP is likely to put the DART back by three months at present.
The Dart is 3 months behind schedule because it was started 3 months late and has nothing to do with the second multi-storey. It is now due to open in the Autumn of 2021 rather than the summer.
