Here we go again....City Council at its best.
63 conditions are listed by the council for the project.
Some are sensible. During the constructon phase [31 et seq] which accord with good practice. Avoidance of pollution etc
Some will be imposed by EU law which the council have no option but to include. The tree huggers would start a legal challenge.
I could go on.......but the bottom line is that you cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs.
A measure of practicality needs to be applied to achieve the ultimate goal.
This is not some form of academic exercise to produce a submission as part of the final year degree course in planning matters.
The council need to appreciate that this project will generate wealth and jobs for the area and need to take a pragmatic approach and sit down and negotiate. Otherwise as sure as night follows day, this golden [and final?] opportunity will melt away.
And finally think about the airport staff...they must feel somewhat "frustrated"
