SECTIONS 42, 47 AND 48 OF THE PLANNING ACT 2008 (“THE 2008 ACT”)

REGULATION 4, INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING (APPLICATIONS: PRESCRIBED FORMS AND PROCEDURE) REGULATIONS 2009 (“THE 2009 REGULATIONS”)

NOTICE OF PUBLICATION OF A STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY CONSULTATION AND NOTICE PUBLICISING A PROPOSED APPLICATION FOR A DEVELOPMENT CONSENT ORDER FOR LONDON LUTON AIRPORT

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that London Luton Airport Limited (“LLAL”) of Hart House Business Centre, Kimpton Road, Luton, LU2 0LA intends to apply to the Secretary of State for a Development Consent Order (“DCO”) under section 37 of the 2008 Act to expand London Luton Airport (“LTN”), located to the south-east of Luton.

Under section 47 of the 2008 Act, LLAL has a duty to consult the local community in accordance with a Statement of Community Consultation (“SoCC”), which sets out how LLAL will undertake its consultation. This notice publicises where and when the SoCC can be inspected, pursuant to section 47(6)(a).

Additionally, LLAL has a duty to publicise the proposed application under section 48 of the 2008 Act in line with Regulation 4 of the 2009 Regulations. In accordance with those provisions, this notice also summarises the main proposals and explains where the consultation documents can be viewed.

Summary of Proposed Works

The proposed DCO application would, amongst other things, authorise the construction and operation of a new second terminal and associated facilities, including new aircraft stands, apron and taxiways, predominantly on the north side of the existing runway at LTN. This would allow LTN to make best use of the existing single runway, in accordance with government aviation policy. In addition to the new terminal, the DCO application would authorise adjustments to the existing terminal and its associated aircraft stands, to allow the expansion to be phased over time and in line with growing demand to 32 million passengers per annum (“mppa”). The current permitted capacity of the airport is 18 mppa.

To accommodate the expansion, a major earthworks operation would be required to the east of the existing airport to create the platform on which the new terminal and associated facilities would be located. The proposed DCO application would also include replacement open space to compensate for the area of Wigmore Valley Park into which the airport would expand, along with environmental mitigation works in the vicinity of the airport. To achieve this increase in passenger numbers, associated improvements to surface access transport infrastructure, including connecting roads and off-site junctions, would also be required.

The proposed project is Environmental Impact Assessment development (“EIA development”), as defined by the Infrastructure Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2017. This means that the proposed works constitute development for which Environmental Impact Assessment is required. An Environmental Statement will therefore be submitted as part of the proposed application containing information about the environmental effects of the proposed development. Preliminary environmental information can be found in the Preliminary Environmental Information Report (“PEIR”), which forms part of the consultation material.
