SEMA submission to planning framework consultation

SEMA made an official submission to the "Core Strategy Pre-Publication
Partial Consultation". This is part of forming the Local Development
Framework for the Greater Manchester region. This is the framework
against which future planning decisions will be made, including airport
expansion plans.

You can see the documents that are being consulted on here:

The 'Need for Land' documents exactly details exactly how Manchester Airport is proposing to expand. It's a long read but how individual projects such as expanding the Freight Centre over Hasty Lane are part of a much larger, long-term plan to increase capacity and flight numbers. More flights, more noise, more emissions.

SEMA's submission argues that since the future of national aviation policy is unclear, including the High Court ruling that the 2003 Air Transport White Paper is not compatible with the 2008 Climate Act, it would be unwise for the Council to support expansion plans at this time. It also details arguments about the effects of the airport on jobs and the economy in the North West region.
