And the precise details of what these phases of expansion involve are also provided to potential applicants:

"2. Works
At present, the works envisaged are:

2.1 Red Line scheme - in order to maximise the capacity of the existing airport site, it is envisaged that the additional works for which planning permission will be required are:
2.1.1 Additional taxiway infrastructure, comprising a full or partial parallel taxiway and additional taxiways serving the apron areas;
2.1.2 Realignment of some apron parking areas, with some infill development and conversion of areas from general aviation to commercial aviation use, including demolition of some existing buildings and infrastructure;
2.1.3 Improved road access from the Percival Way roundabout, including dualling of the existing road and modifications to the access to the medium term car park;
2.1.4 New pick-up and drop-off arrangements on land currently used for car parking, with a potential requirement for some decked or multi-storey car park provision; and
2.1.5 Infill development to the passenger terminal area (including internal rearrangement of some terminal facilities) to provide extended facilities and additional gaterooms.
These works will need to be designed in such a way as to allow subsequent access to be provided to Century Park to the east of the Airport.

2.2 Master Plan scheme - in order to maximise the potential of its current single runway, the Airport will need to extend beyond its current airport boundary, with an area of land identified to the east of the existing facility, and the works The Master Plan development is envisaged to comprise:
2.2.1 Completion of the taxiway infrastructure to maximise runway capacity;
2.2.2 A new terminal, pier and apron complex; and
2.2.3 Associated surface access infrastructure and car parking."

That should give some food for thought! Any comments?
