Master Plan delayed to "Summer"
At the meeting of the Airport Consultative Committee held on Monday (19 March), the operator (LLAOL) stated that it will not now publish its plan for expansion until the summer. It seems to be intent on publishing a plan for the existing Airport which will only run to 2015 despite the requirement of the Government's Air Transport White Paper that it make clear its intentions through to 2030. This tactic will not only make it impossible for the planning authorities to determine whether its plans are compatible with Government policy for a full-length runway, it will also perpetuate the blight which the draft master plan imposed on a huge area around the Airport back in November 2005.
