New ATC tower
Skipness,
The new tower will be over by the hangars. The future ATC requirement has been in discussion for 2-3 years, with various options considered. MAG Board has now decided to take a long term view, and committed a large sum to ensure a top class facility which will align with the airport masterplan. There will be an infringement of the Inner Horizontal Surface, as there usually is with major airport towers, because you must have good sightlines across the entire airport movement area. LHR is 87m, I think. MAN's will be less, but still tall. There'll be a study into the airspace implications, of course.
