V702 - Whilst local residents have expressed strong opposition to car park developments replacing green-field sites, I don't detect any opposition from residents concerning redevelopment of terminal buildings wholly within the airport's existing boundaries. There was no adverse reaction locally when the Terminals Transformation Project was announced amidst extensive publicity. As a resident myself, it makes no difference to life at home whether passengers at the airport transit an old building or a new one. There won't be any objection from me, and I'd be surprised if my near neighbours would have any objection either. Indeed, the more prevalent view is that the sooner those old buildings are replaced with state-of-the-art new ones the better. An improved user-experience would be welcomed by all. Residents use the airport too, and many actually work in those buildings. They can start construction tomorrow for me.
