Living Near Stansted Airport
Since the first runway was built on the site for Stansted in 1942, the airport has gone from strength to strength. Following terminal extensions in the 1970s, the airport's success sparked a mention in the Government's "white paper", in which it was proposed that the airport would undergo a major expansion. The planning application for this expansion went through in 1980, despite many of the reservations held by the locals and the airport has a brand new £400 million terminal in 1991.
The airport has worked hard to maintain a positive relationship with the nearby community, and as a result of this the Government proposed the building of a new runway in its 2003 white paper. Stansted Airport submitted a planning application for this development from Uttlesford District Council, with plans to have the runway built by 2015. The airport council also applied for passenger numbers to exceed 25 million per year and, following a public inquiry, was approved by the Government in October 2008. To minimise disruption to people living in the locality, strict sound and pollution regulations have to be enforced for this application to go through.
Expanding the airport further is sure to have positive effects on the local economy and increase local employment opportunities but some may feel negatively towards the effect a busier airport may have on cuch factors as environment, traffic to the area and the price of property.
