Councillors considering a planning application to build a 9,000-space car park at Manchester airport will visit the site next month.
The visit has been welcomed by Wythenshawe residents objecting to the scheme, which has gone before a full council planning meeting.
The plan, submitted by Manchester Airports Group, is for a long-stay car park near the Moss Nook area and accessed from Styal Road and Shadowmoss Road.
It is in part is to replace the 3,000 spaces to be lost to Airport City, a commercial hub. The land was classed as green belt until a government rule change in July.
Residents are objecting on the grounds of impact, noise pollution, environmental protection and loss of green space, safety issues of so many cars with petrol near an airport, increased traffic and the size of the car park.
Councillors will visit the site on 24th October 2013, ahead of their next planning meeting.
Thank you so much for this review. I never thought of this option. I am sure that other airports have the same facilities. I always pay ridiculous amounts of money for parking when we go on holidays!
