Plan for Stansted second runway - NOW ABANDONED BY BAA
Plans for the second runway are opposed by the new Conservative - Lib Dem coalition.
On 24th May BAA announced that it is dropping its plans for a 2nd runway. Details .....The application was submitted by BAA, in March, to build a second runway at Stansted,
doubling the size of the airport. If approved, the plans would see the new runway and the new terminal built by
2015, and serving 68 million passengers a year by 2030. The Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE) described the application as "going beyond environmental vandalism and being
tantamount to a declaration of war on the local community and global environment". (11.3.2008) More .....
Stansted Airport 2nd runway application
- deadline for comment was 26th September 2008
While the application was extremely voluminous, the bottom line was that BAA’s
2nd runway plans would mean:
A 2-runway airport capable of handling c500,000 flights a year (compared with
the present 200,000) and 68 million passengers per year (compared with the present
23 million) by 2030 – more than Heathrow.
This would require significant land take and heritage loss including destruction of nearly 800 hectares of countryside, and demolition of 73 homes plus 14 non-residential buildings - including 35 historic
buildings. Two scheduled ancient monuments are also threatened.
There would be some 86 aircraft movements each hour, with about 43 flights either
landing or taking off on each runway.
There would be a 2nd passenger terminal and control tower, an initial batch of
four new hotels (2,800 rooms), airport related buildings and additional car parks
(including multi-storey parking) to bring airport parking provision to around
85,000 spaces – twice the number of car parking spaces at Heathrow. More guidance on how to respond
Make your mind up on 2nd Stansted runway, Government tells BAA
11th February 2010 The Minister responsible for dealing with BAA’s plans for a 2nd Stansted runway
has asked the airport operator to state whether it still wants to continue with
its current planning application. John Denham, Sec of State for Communities,
has also told BAA that if it does still want its second runway application to
be considered, then the information provided (a pile of documents almost 10 feet
high) when it submitted the application almost 2 years ago will need to be updated.

Stansted protesters sentenced to community service amid threat of £2m damages
claim
8th January 2009 The climate change protesters who brought Stansted airport
to a standstill in December were sentenced yesterday, as it emerged that they
and others who joined them face the threat of being sued for more than £2m in
damages. Most of the 22 campaigners, members of Plane Stupid, were ordered to
do between 50 and 90 hours community service after admitting aggravated trespass,
and must pay compensation of £60 to cover £3,000 worth of damage to the fence.

Stansted airport expansion to go ahead - up to 35 million passengers per year
(9th October 2008)
"PREDICTABLE, CYNICAL AND UNJUSTIFIED" - says SSE in response to Government's
approval for an extra 10 million passengers a year at Stansted
Stansted, Britain's biggest budget airline hub, received the go-ahead to handle
10 million more passengers - which means around 120 more daily flights, on its
existing runway. Stop Stansted Expansion described the decision by the Government
to approve an increase in Stansted's permitted passenger throughput from 25 million
passengers per annum to 35mppa as entirely predictable, cynical and unjustified.
However, the campaign group is warning BAA and Ferrovial not to assume the matter
is settled since initial readings of the Inspector's report and Government decision
letter indicate that there may well be scope for legal challenge. BAA was warned by Ryanair and easyJet that it faces fewer flights if it hikes
fees to pay for the expansion. The Conservatives backed the expansion but would
oppose a 2nd runway. 9.10.2008 More .....
