Only expansion outside the boundary will be part of the DCO excluding the dual carriageway to a second terminal, which was sneaked in via an unrelated application by LLAL and will be funded directly by the Council and not LLAL except they have no money. As can be seen some applications come from the concessionaire (LLAOL) while others come via the airport owner (LLAL). As I said a few posts back all three, including the Council, are as thick as thieves.
32mppa/T2 a distant planning & pre Covid dream
Even that figure is BS as the true figure is 36m and always has been. It was only reduced to save the cost of upgrading the M1. If they get planning permission for 32m they will eventually put in an application to bring it back to 36m so avoiding a bill for the M1.
