There will be a loss of car parking in the Mid Term Car Park (MTCP) due to the route alignment. This loss is estimated to be in the region of 823 spaces which will be re-provided at the Mid Term Car Park via a temporary decking type solution. A permanent Multi Storey car park will be constructed in the central terminal area that will accommodate all these spaces as a long term solution. The temporary decking solution at Mid Term Car Park will be carried out under Permitted Development Rights. In summary, no spaces will be lost due to the MPT route alignment cutting through the Mid Term Car Park.
The implication of the above statement is that the mid term car park will move into the CTA but what will be provided is additional short term car park spaces as it will be in a prime location.
I find it hard to believe that the "temporary" decking won't be kept as a permanent solution to the constant battle to provide every more car park spaces.
