The 2010 runway extension planning consent allowed for up to 2 million passengers per annum (mppa) and the impact that this increase in passengers and their consequent traffic movements would have on the highway network was considered in the determination of the runway extension application. Subject to a number of planning conditions and clauses in the legal agreement requiring, amongst other things, works to the highway network and targets for public transport usage, the impact of a 2 mppa airport on the highway network was considered acceptable. The proposed development will not increase passenger numbers or flights above the limits already in place
Never knew the airport had a passenger limit imposed on it by the council of only 2 million passengers. Has someone told Stobart?
