I've been having a read through the planning application, and it seems to have changed a fair bit from the last application.

They no longer intend to build a new runway offset from the existing one. Instead the existing runway will be raised and re-profiled. The runway will be built to PCN31 specification. 11 stands will be constructed, 4 capable of accepting aircraft up to 747 in size, with the remaining stands capable of handling aircraft up to 737 size. However, a condition of the planning permission prevents larger aircraft using the airfield on a regular basis, the 747 sized stands are to be constructed purely for potential storage, although the condition can be removed in future if desired.

Plans for a new terminal also appear to have been dropped, there is no mention of it in the planning permission, and it no longer features on the drawings.

Well done Mr Brown, thanks to your constant objections now it will just be an industrial estate! I can only assume the proposed passenger flights will use the existing terminal?

You can find the document here: Meetings and Events

Pages 17-20 list the proposals, with page 114 onwards showing the plans.
