The dead space known locally at Stansted as the non fit out area is the overhead space above gate 81-88. Originally planned to be fitted out and used fully by BAA but never done for numerous reasons. MAG then also has not look to fit out the area to. In the last plans for Stansted along with the arrivals terminal SAT2 would have had a total refit and would have looked something like SAT1. Albeit with a new bridge connected to the main terminal.
If you look at this space from SAT1&3 you can actually see the shells of the escalator that would have been fitted into the building.
