Bristol Airport expansion plan changes
17.12.09

Bristol Airport has made changes to its £150 million expansion plans after a feedback from a pubic consultation, including limiting its proposed hike in the number of night flights, originally due to rise to around 12 a night under the plans, to be capped at 10 per night. There are currently seven flights per night on average.

The airport is offering to spend £10 million on a series of changes to its expansion plans, many involving transport links, following the public consultation. Changes include a new flyer bus service from Weston and increased funding for the £48 million Bus Rapid Transit scheme and the £47 million South Bristol Link road.

It will also delay development of a new long stay car park green belt land until passenger numbers have grown enough to merit the increase in spaces and spend £100,000 to make Weston's 121 bus service – which currently runs every two hours from Weston to Bristol city centre via the airport – hourly.

The changes follow public consultation on the expansion scheme, which includes multi-storey car parks, a larger terminal and new administration building. Three weeks of consultation on the amendments has now begun before North Somerset Council decides on the whole application on February 10.
