London Luton Airport – plans and consultation

30/08/2022 By admin2

Luton Airport and its (unsustainable) plans;  London Luton Airport Limited is attempting to obtain permission to increase its passenger cap to 19 million passengers per year. This is its fourth attempt to relax noise conditions imposed when it achieved permission to increase passenger numbers to 18mppa, which have already been breached due to unrestrained demand-led expansion. Such expansion will impact on North Hertfordshire’s residents, is based on what Hitchin Forum believes to be an unsustainable business model. More about the impact here

It also takes no account of the need to drive down carbon emissions. Hitchin Forum has submitted an objection to the airport’s application to Luton Borough Council letter of objection here.

Luton And District Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise (LADACAN) has full details on its website, including links to Luton Borough Council’s Planning Portal where you can see all the associated documents; https://ladacan.org/luton-airport-19-million-time-to-say-no/  The London Luton Airport Town and Village Community Committee (LLATVCC) has also commented in their newsletter – LLATVCC Newsletter 63 Their latest newsletter is here LLATVCC Newsletter 65 and their latest newsletter about ‘Jet Zero’, a misnomer if ever there was one, is here LLATVCC Newsletter 66 

The latest consultation follows on from an exhibition which is available on the ‘Luton Rising website’ which is available and our response to that us here.
