BACKGROUND PAPER 7

Policy Ec4: East Midlands Airport

Policy Ec5: East Midlands Airport: Safeguarding

Policy Ec6: East Midlands Airport Public Safety Zones

1 INTRODUCTION

1.1 This is one of a number of background papers which have been published to support the publication version of the Local Plan. The purpose of these papers is to provide more information in support of Policies Ec4 (East Midlands Airport), Ec5 (East Midlands Airport: Safeguarding) and Ec6 (East Midlands Airport Public Safety Zones), than can be included in the draft Local Plan document itself if it is to remain of a manageable size.

2 THE POLICIES 2.1 Policies Ec4, Ec5 and Ec6 sets out the proposed approach in respect of development in

connection with East Midlands Airport. The policies state: Policy Ec4: East Midlands Airport

(1) The growth of East Midlands Airport will be supported provided development that

gives rise to a material increase in airport capacity:

(a) is limited to that necessary to support an airport capable of handling up to

10 million passenger and 1.2 million tonnes of cargo per year;

(b) incorporates measures that will reduce the number of local residents

affected by noise as a result of the airport’s operation, as well as the impact

of noise on the wider landscape;

(c) incorporates measures to ensure that local air quality satisfies relevant

standards; and

(d) is accompanied by improvements in public transport access to the airport

and other measures that will reduce the level of airport-generated road

traffic (per passenger); and

(e) will protect and enhance heritage assets within the vicinity of the airport.

(2) Within the boundaries of the airport, as defined on the Policies Map, development

will be limited to:

(a) Operational facilities and infrastructure;

(b) Passenger and terminal facilities;

(c) Cargo facilities;

(d) Airport ancillary infrastructure where the proposed development requires

and benefits from an airport location and is of a scale that is appropriate to

that relationship;

(e) Landscape works; and

(f) Internal highways and infrastructure; and

Improvements to public transport and airport customer car parking.

Policy Ec5: East Midlands Airport: Safeguarding

(1) Development which would adversely affect the operation, safety or planned growth

of East Midlands Airport will not be permitted.

(2) The outer boundary of the Safeguarded Area is shown on the Policies Map and within

this area consultation with East Midlands Airport is required on the following

proposals:

(a) all buildings, structures, erections and works that exceed the height

specified on the safeguarding map;

(b) any proposed development in the vicinity of East Midlands Airport which

may have the potential to interfere with the operation of its navigational

aids, radio aids and telecommunication systems;

(c) the lighting elements of a development which may have the potential to

distract or confuse pilots, particularly in the immediate vicinity of the

aerodrome and of the aircraft approach paths;

(d) any proposal for an aviation use within a 13km circle centred on East

Midlands Airport;

(e) any proposal within a 13km circle centred on East Midlands Airport which

has the potential to attract large numbers of birds. Such proposals include:

i. significant landscaping or tree planting;

ii. minerals extraction or quarrying;

iii. waste disposal or management;

iv. reservoirs or other significant water bodies;

v. land restoration schemes;

vi. sewage works;

vii. nature reserves; and

viii. bird sanctuaries; and

(f) any proposal for a wind turbine development within a 30km circle centred on East Midlands Airport.

3 Location 3.1 East Midlands Airport (EMA) is in a strategic location in the centre of the UK with

direct access onto the national motorway system (M1/A42/M42). The existing operational area of the airport extends to some 445 hectares of land. The site is broadly rectangular in shape, bounded by the Donington Park Motor Racing Circuit to the west, the M1 Motorway to the east, fields to the north and the A453 to the south.

4 Background 4.1 Flying operations began at what is now EMA in 1916 and a more substantial

aerodrome, RAF Castle Donington was developed during the Second World War. The commercial airport was developed by Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire County Councils and Derby and Nottingham City Councils, and opened in 1965.

4.2 In its first year the airport handled 118,305 passengers. East Midlands Airport passed the one million passengers a year mark in 1985. In the following years, extensions and

improvements were made to the airport’s facilities. These included extensions to the passenger terminal, a new departures building and a new Control Tower that opened in 1999. By 2008 over 5.6 million passengers a year were using the airport. Although affected by recession and structural changes in the airline industry, today East Midlands Airport is:

The 11th busiest passenger airport in the UK handling 4,508,000 passengers in

2014 The UK’s largest pure cargo airport handling 309,000 tonnes in 2014 and the

15th largest cargo airport in Europe

The UK’s major air mail hub

The UK’s leading airport for express freight, with three of the major

global integrated freight airlines based at the airport.

5 Activities 5.1 There are six main functional zones on the airport site:

Airfield

5.2 This is made up of the 2,893m (east-west) main runway, the parallel taxiway system to the south, on-site navigational aids, and the clear areas within the site for the runway’s protected surfaces which facilitate the safe operation of aircraft on and around the airfield. The airport’s runway and taxiways take up almost half of the total area of the airport site.

Central Passenger Zone

5.3 This contains all of the main passenger-related facilities including the passenger terminal, an aircraft apron, areas of car parking, the public transport hub for buses and coaches, a petrol-filling station and access roads. The Central Passenger Zone also includes some of the airport’s support facilities including flight catering, two fuel farms, and vehicle maintenance. The Thistle Hotel is also within the Central Passenger Zone at the airport’s main entrance.

Cargo West

5.4 The DHL hub facility and its associated aircraft parking apron is the principal activity in the Cargo West zone. At the western end of the DHL facility are two of the airport’s long-stay car parks. There is land available for a major extension to the DHL hub.

Cargo East

5.5 UPS, TNT and Royal Mail have their operations at Cargo East and share the existing aircraft parking apron area. Also at Cargo East there are landside facilities that include the Air Cargo Village and a range of cargo office and warehouse units. There is land available for significant cargo development within Cargo East.

Aircraft Maintenance Zone

5.6 This is a large area of land between the Central Passenger Zone and Cargo West. It contains a number of aircraft maintenance hangars that are of various sizes, along with aircraft apron. There is also some operational office accommodation and a flying school in this area. Most of the buildings are old and differences in ground level prevent the most efficient use of land. Other uses in the Aircraft Maintenance Zone include the main fuel farm, an airline flight training school (simulators) and the airport’s staff car park.

Pegasus Business Park

5.7 This area is located in the south-east corner of the airport site and it contains a number of modern office buildings and three hotels (Radisson Blu, Premier Travel Inn and Holiday Inn Express). There is land available for the further development of the Business Park.

6 National Planning Policy Framework 6.1 National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) paragraph 28 supports economic growth

in rural areas in order to create jobs and prosperity.

6.2 NPPF paragraph 31 requires Local Planning Authorities to work with others to develop strategies for provision of infrastructure to support strategies for growth of airports. Paragraph 33 expects plans to take account of the growth of airports as well as the principles of the Government’s Aviation Framework.

6.3 Planning policies and decisions should aim to avoid noise from giving rise to significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life as a result of new development. Local Planning Authorities should recognise that development will often create some noise and existing businesses wanting to develop in continuance of their business should not have unreasonable restrictions put on them because of changes in nearby land uses since they were established.

7 National Planning Practice Guidance 7.1 Aviation makes a significant contribution to economic growth across the country,

including in relation to small and medium sized airports and airfields (aerodromes). An aerodrome will form part of a larger network. Local planning authorities should have regard to the extent to which an aerodrome contributes to connectivity outside the authority’s own boundaries, working together with other authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships as required by the National Planning Policy Framework. As well as the National Planning Policy Framework, local planning authorities should have regard to the Aviation Policy Framework, which sets out Government policy to allow aviation to continue making a significant contribution.

8 UK Aviation Forecasts 2013 8.1 UK Aviation Forecasts 2013 presents the Department for Transport’s updated

forecasts of air passengers and aviation carbon dioxide emissions to 2050. The primary

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/aviation-policy-framework

purpose of these forecasts is to inform long-term strategic aviation policy. The central forecasts of passenger numbers have been reduced by around 7% in 2030 from levels last forecast by the DfT in August 2011. Primarily this reflects revisions to the Office of Budget Responsibility's forecasts for the UK economy and the Department of Energy and Climate Change's projections of oil prices. Further, in comparison with the 2011 central forecast, the number of passengers travelling via London airports increases while demand in other regions falls.

8.2 The National Air Passenger Allocation Model forecasts how passenger demand will be distributed between airports around the UK after accounting for likely airport capacity constraints. The central airport forecasts to 2050 under the central 'max use' capacity scenario suggest that passenger numbers at EMA will be static at around 4 million terminal passengers per annum (mppa) over the period 2011 to 2030. However, as all the South East airports would be at capacity at around 2030, the other large UK airports become affected by the overspill so that the number of passengers at EMA grows to 9mppa at 2040 and reaches full capacity at 14mppa by 2050. However, there is a range around this projection and the major South East airports could be full as soon as 2025 or as late as 2040.

8.3 With regard to freight, the 2013 Forecasts show that following a period of strong growth in the late 1990s, nationally the usage of air freighters has been subdued, with a steady decline over the last decade. While some of this trend appears to be driven by an increase in the share of total freight carried as bellyhold cargo and an increase in the payload per freighter, it has also coincided with a flattening of overall demand for air freight. Several reasons for this have been suggested, including: increased capacity and frequency of shipping services; aviation fuel prices rising faster than shipping fuel prices; disruption to air services (particularly on the North Atlantic routes) following the 2001 terrorist attack in New York; and the increasing importance of the Far East market.

8.4 Given the sustained nature of this trend over a ten year period, the 2013 Forecast adopts a projection that reflects the overall pattern of freight air transport movements (ATMs) since 1990. This reduces the overall average growth projected in freighter ATMs between 2011 and 2050, to around 0.5% a year.

9 Aviation Policy Framework 9.1 The 2003 Air Transport White Paper has been replaced by the Government’s Aviation

Policy Framework published in March 2013. The Aviation Policy Framework no longer sets out in detail which specific developments would be supported at particular airports across the UK. Instead, it sets out the Government’s objectives and principles to guide plans and decisions at the local and regional level. The Aviation Policy Framework recognises the importance of all national airports, and they are seen as more than regional or secondary centres.

9.2 The Aviation Policy Framework continues to support the preparation of Airport Master Plans with integrated Surface Access Strategies. Master Plan should be reviewed every five years.

9.3 The Aviation Policy Framework advises that land outside existing airports that may be required for airport development in the future needs to be protected against incompatible development until the Government has established any relevant policies

and proposals in response to the findings of the Airports Commission. Airport operators should maintain safeguarding maps to reflect potential proposals for future development of airports.

9.4 All proposals for airport development must be accompanied by clear surface access proposals which demonstrate how the airport will ensure easy and reliable access for passengers, increase the use of public transport by passengers to access the airport, and minimise congestion and other local impacts.

9.5 The objective of not increasing the number of people living, working or congregating in Public Safety Zones remains and, over time, the Government wants to see the number reduced.

9.6 There is scope for Local Enterprise Partnerships to develop local strategies to maximise the catalytic effects of airports to attract business and support growth.

10 North West Leicestershire Local Plan (2002)

10.1 Local Plan Policies T18-20 guide development at EMA. Policy T19 makes provision for the operational needs of the airport, T19 controls development in the EMA Public Safety Zones and T20 supports a direct link between the airport and the Midland Main Line Railway:

POLICY T18

WITHIN THE AIRPORT LIMIT IDENTIFIED ON THE PROPOSALS MAP, AIRPORT OPERATIONAL

DEVELOPMENT WHICH FULFILS THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS WILL BE PERMITTED SUBJECT TO:

A. DEVELOPMENT INVOLVING BUILDINGS BEING CONFINED TO THE EXISTING TERMINAL

COMPLEX, AND LAND AT GIMBRO FARM;

B. THE PROPOSAL SECURING A LOGICAL DISPOSITION OF USES;

C. THE PROPOSAL PROVIDING SATISFACTORY ACCESS ARRANGEMENTS, AND HAVING AN

ACCEPTABLE IMPACT ON THE LOCAL AND WIDER HIGHWAY NETWORK;

D. THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF THE PROPOSAL ON NEARBY SETTLEMENTS AND THE

SURROUNDING COUNTRYSIDE BEING KEPT TO AN ACCEPTABLE MINIMUM.

POLICY T19

DEVELOPMENT WILL NOT BE PERMITTED WITHIN THE PUBLIC SAFETY ZONES AT EAST MIDLANDS

AIRPORT, IDENTIFIED ON THE PROPOSALS MAP, WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE

IN THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE LIVING, WORKING OR CONGREGATING THERE.

UPON THE COMPLETION AND BRINGING INTO USE OF THE PROPOSED RUNWAY EXTENSION, THOSE PARTS OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY ZONES, IDENTIFIED ON THE PROPOSALS MAP, WHICH RELATE ONLY TO

THE EXISTING RUNWAY, WILL CEASE TO BE SUBJECT TO THIS POLICY.

POLICY T20

DEVELOPMENT OF A RAIL OR OTHER DEDICATED PUBLIC TRANSPORT LINK BETWEEN EAST MIDLANDS

AIRPORT AND THE NATIONAL RAIL NETWORK WILL BE PERMITTED, PROVIDED IT:

A. IS ROUTED TO MINIMISE THE VISUAL IMPACT ON THE COUNTRYSIDE AND NEARBY

SETTLEMENTS; AND

B. IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY DETRIMENTAL TO AMENITIES ENJOYED BY THE OCCUPIERS OF

NEARBY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES.

10.2 Notwithstanding Policy L20, the whole of the site lies within the Countryside policy area where development is strictly limited in accordance with Local Plan Policy S2. Parts of the circuit are in the East Midlands Airport Public Safety Zone, which restricts the uses and development within that area.

11 North West Leicestershire Core Strategy 11.1 On 24 June 2013 the North West Leicestershire Core Strategy and associated

documents were submitted to the Secretary of State. Core Strategy policy CS3 addressed development at EMA:

POLICY CS3: EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT

THE COUNCIL WILL PROVIDE FOR THE OPERATIONAL GROWTH OF EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT

HAVING REGARD TO ITS IMPACT ON LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND THE WIDER ENVIRONMENT, AND

THE NEED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES AND VISITORS TRAVELLING TO THE AIRPORT

BY MEANS OTHER THAN THE PRIVATE CAR:

A. DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE AIRPORT, AS DEFINED ON THE

PROPOSALS MAP, WILL BE RESTRICTED TO AIRPORT OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENT ONLY;

B. NOISE-SENSITIVE DEVELOPMENT, PARTICULARLY HOUSING, WILL BE RESISTED WHERE IT

CAN BE DEMONSTRATED THAT THE NOISE LEVELS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AIRPORT

WOULD BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE OCCUPIERS OR USERS OF ANY SUCH DEVELOPMENT;

C. SEEK TO ENSURE THAT ANY NEW OPERATIONAL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD MINIMISE ITS

IMPACT UPON THE ENVIRONMENT (INCLUDING MAKING APPROPRIATE PROVISION FOR

RENEWABLE ENERGY) AND THE LOCAL HIGHWAY NETWORK;

D. WORK WITH THE AIRPORT AND OTHER PARTNERS TO SEEK TO MAXIMISE ACCESSIBILITY

TO THE AIRPORT, PARTICULARLY FROM PRIORITY NEIGHBOURHOODS, BY PUBLIC

TRANSPORT AND OTHER SUSTAINABLE MEANS OF TRAVEL IN PREFERENCE TO THE USE OF

THE CAR. THIS WOULD INCLUDE IMPLEMENTING AND PERIODICALLY REVIEWING THE

AIRPORT SURFACE ACCESS STRATEGY AND THE PREPARATION OF GREEN TRAVEL PLANS

IN SUPPORT OF PLANNING APPLICATIONS;

E. WORK WITH THE AIRPORT AND OTHER PARTNERS, INCLUDING LOCAL COMMUNITIES, TO

SEEK TO MINIMISE THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF OPERATIONS AT AND CONNECTED

WITH THE AIRPORT;

F. ANY FURTHER CONSOLIDATION OR DEVELOPMENT AT THE AIRPORT RELATED TO NIGHT

FLIGHTS WILL REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF STRINGENT CONTROLS OVER NIGHT-TIME

NOISE.

11.2 There were 17 representations to this policy. Of these, 7 supported the overall approach. The remaining 10 representations identified a number of concerns including the definition of airport related (or operational) development; a need to address odours from kerosene; failure to address the issue of general noise and its impact upon nearby areas; no clarification provided as to the limit to the amount of residential development in the vicinity of the airport and does not offer any mitigation for existing residents; policy too restrictive and fails to comply with the NPPF intentions to promote growth ; Part A too restricted and needs more flexibility regarding the type of uses that will be allowed and concerns about the impact upon the local area, including the road network, and the loss of Greenfield land.

11.3 The North West Leicestershire Core Strategy was withdrawn in December 2013.

12 Permitted Development at East Midlands Airportport 12.1 Certain categories of development are permitted at airports without the need for

express planning permission by virtue of Schedule 2, Part 8, classes F to N (which specifically relates to Aviation Development) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (GPDO).

12.2 This provision of the GPDO is quite complex, but essentially states that certain types of development are generally permitted provided they are carried out on operational land by a relevant airport operator or its agent in connection with the provision of services and facilities at a relevant airport. East Midlands Airport is defined as a ‘relevant airport’ and East Midlands Airport Limited is a ‘relevant operator’. ‘Relevant airport’ means an airport to which Part V of the Airports Act 1986 applies and ‘relevant airport operator’ means a relevant airport operator within s57 of the Airports Act 1986.

12.3 Class F of Part 8 of the GPDO permits development, including the erection or alteration of an operational building by an airport operator for the provision of services and facilities at an airport. Operational buildings include those required for the movement and maintenance of aircraft and for the loading, discharge or transport of passengers or goods at an airport. Class G deals with air navigation at an airport, Class H with air navigation near an airport, Class I with development by an air traffic services licence

holder within an airport, Class J with development by an air traffic services licence holder for air traffic control and navigation, Class K with development by an air traffic services licence holder in an emergency, Class L with development by an air traffic services licence holder for air traffic control, Class M for development by the Civil Aviation Authority for surveys, and Class N with the use of airport buildings managed by relevant airport operators.

12.4 Class F of the GPDO is wide ranging in its scope, and is subject to the condition that the relevant airport operator consults the local planning authority before carrying out any development (Condition F.2).

12.5 Certain types of development are specifically excluded as ‘permitted development’ and comprise the following categories:

1. the construction or extension of a runway; 2. the construction of a passenger terminal, the floor space of which would exceed

500m2; 3. the extension or alteration of a passenger terminal, where the floor space would

be exceeded by 15%; 4. the erection of a building other than an operational building; 5. the alteration or reconstruction of a building other than an operational building,

where its design or external appearance would be materially affected.

12.6 Certain other types of development are permitted including: works urgently required for the efficient running of the airport, as well as the erection of air navigation equipment subject to certain restrictions on size.

12.7 Development that goes beyond what is permitted by the GPDO requires planning permission and it should be noted that development requiring an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) to be undertaken does not benefit from permitted development rights. Other uses such as hotels are not permitted development and require planning permission to be sought.

13 Planning History 13.1 A detailed planning history focussing on the period after 2000 is set out at Appendix 1.

Most development proposals have come forward under the above permitted development arrangements. The most significant of the recent proposals that required permission are set out below.

Runway Extension

13.2 Planning permission was granted in 2011 for the construction of a 190 metre extension to the runway. This would increase the available runway length to 3,083 metres. The ability to handle the future growth in passenger and cargo traffic does not depend on the construction of the runway extension, but it could bring payload/range benefits to the operators of the largest long-haul aircraft. The increase in runway length would also allow the westward displacement of the landing threshold for Runway 27 which would increase the height of aircraft overflying Kegworth. The runway extension would have some noise and air quality benefits by allowing most departing aircraft to use lower thrust settings on take-off. The runway extension works (with the exception of minor

changes to the approach lighting) can be undertaken within the existing airport boundary.

13.3 In addition the planning consent for the runway development includes a condition that an Environmental Management Plan be agreed by the local planning authority that sets out the airport’s environmental controls, mitigation measures and the extent of the airport’s night noise contour. As at September 2015, the development had not started.

Extension of Airport Operational Land

13.4 Permission was granted in 2013 to change the use of vacant land to airport operational land in association with EMA (13/00784/EXT). The application contained no proposals to build, but the permission conveys airport-related permitted development rights. The site has had a series of approvals for such use (10/00773/FUL, 07/00904/FUL).

New Security Search Building

13.5 This planning application (12/00783/FULM) for a security building and walkway was necessary to meet aviation security requirements and accommodate up to date security equipment in order to process passengers more comfortably and effectively.

Radisson Blu

13.6 In December 2009, reserved matters approval was granted for the erection of the Radisson Blu hotel on Pegasus Business Park (09/0099/REM, outline planning permission having been granted in March 2008 under ref 07/01658/OUT).

14 East Midlands Airport Masterplan 14.1 Following consultation, the East Midlands Airport Sustainable Development Plan was

published in 2015. It sets the context for the future growth of the Airport.

14.2 The Sustainable Development Plan sets out the high-level strategic objectives for the growth and development of East Midlands Airport. This high level plan has a section for each plan in detail for:

Land Use

Community

Environment

Economy and Surface Access

Land Use

Forecasts

14.3 Previous forecasts of passenger and cargo traffic growth have not been realised, largely due to the economic turbulence in the economy and in the aviation industry. Nevertheless, EMA does not agree with the UK Department for Transport air transport forecasts (2013) for individual airports and believes that it can achieve stronger and faster growth than predicted.

14.4 The airport’s share of passenger traffic from its core catchment area (Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire and Derbyshire) has been growing as a result of the development of low-

http://www.eastmidlandsairport.com/developmentplan/

cost passenger services to destinations not offered at competitor airports. This provides an opportunity for EMA to further increase penetration into its own regional catchment as well as attracting more passengers from the neighbouring catchments of the West Midlands and South Yorkshire. A review of the airport’s forecasts show that the airport could achieve a passenger throughput of 10 million passengers a year in the period 2030 to 2040- a combined annual growth rate of 3.4% over the period 2013 to 2040.

14.5 A review of the airport’s cargo forecasts has also been carried out. This assumes growth in the UK’s total air freight demand, doubling from 2012 levels (2.3 million tonnes) to 4.4 million tonnes by 2040 (combined annual growth rate of 2.3%). It also assumes that East Midlands Airport’s cargo throughput is continued to be carried on dedicated freight aircraft, and also that the integrated freight market will grow at a faster rate than the traditional freight market. The forecast for future cargo tonnage is for some 618,000 tonnes in 2035 and some 700,000 tonnes in 2040.

14.6 The airport handled 62,852 air transport movements in 2014. This is made up of 36,171 passenger movements and 26,681 cargo movements. There were also 13,866 other aircraft movements that include business and general aviation, training flights and the flying school. Passenger air transport movements are expected to grow in line with passenger throughput as the future average aircraft size is likely to remain similar to the present. An airport of 10 million passengers is forecast to generate some 70,000 annual passenger air transport movements. Air cargo movements are also expected to grow and by 2040 the number of movements could be around 42,600.

14.7 The bulk of the airport’s air transport movements occur during the daytime (07:00 – 23:00). In 2014 there were 41,306 daytime (31,654 passenger and 9,652 cargo) and 21,546 (4,517 passenger and 17,029 cargo) night movements. The bulk of the passenger flights are expected to remain during the daytime and the majority of the cargo movements are expected to operate during the late evening and at night. The future split of daytime and night flights is expected to be similar to that of today.

Capacity

14.8 The principal drivers of airport capacity are:

Local airspace capacity

Runway capacity

Apron capacity

Terminal capacity

Surface access capacity (including car parking)

14.9 The trigger for additional capacity is particularly sensitive to the number of passengers, packages or aircraft expected to pass through the airport in a typical busy hour. There is a substantial summer peak, and the daily profile shows a concentration of passenger departures in the morning peak-hour (07:00 – 08:00). By spreading this peak, the airport will make more efficient use of facilities helping contain the overall scale of passenger facilities as well as minimising some of the environmental effects associated with the airport’s growth.

Airfield

14.10 The airport has a highly capable runway and a full-length parallel taxiway network. The capacity of the runway is 34-36 runway movements per hour. This provides the airport with sufficient runway capacity for the foreseeable future and will be capable of

handling 10 million passengers and 1.2 million tonnes of cargo annually. There are no plans for the development of a second runway during the Masterplan period (to 2040).

14.11 EMA want to extend the life of the planning consent for the runway extension so that the requirement can be fully considered when the economic conditions have improved.

14.12 An efficient taxiway network is an important factor in determining the overall runway capacity and limiting the environmental impact by reducing aircraft holding or runway occupancy times. Improvements to the taxiway layout will include; the installation of Rapid Access/ Exit Taxiways in both runway directions, the construction of aircraft holding / passing bays at the eastern end of the runway and additional runway entry points to improve the sequencing of aircraft departures.

14.13 East Midlands Airport will remain a single runway airport, so therefore there is a risk to airfield operations when there is a requirement for scheduled or emergency runway maintenance. Contingency plans to maintain runway operations during periods of maintenance will need to be considered.

Apron

14.14 The airport’s apron is split into three distinct areas – the Central Passenger Apron, Cargo West and Cargo East. Additional apron capacity will be required as the airport develops its capacity to handle some 10 million passengers and 1.2 million tonnes of cargo. Assessments of future apron demand have been carried out, and there is a need to provide an additional 10 aircraft stands that have direct access to and from the passenger terminal. These can be provided to the east of Central Passenger Apron on land presently used for the UPS Cargo Hub and the airport’s Fire Station. Additional apron can also be provided as a southern extension of the Central West Apron on land that is currently used for passenger car parking. In total there is a requirement for 48 passenger aircraft stands to provide a capacity for 10 million passengers a year.

14.15 Additional cargo apron will be developed as an extension to the apron at both Cargo East and Cargo West. The cargo apron stands need to be capable of handling much larger aircraft than the passenger apron and there will need to be a minimum of seven additional cargo stands.

14.16 Apron development for both passengers and cargo will displace existing uses including passenger car parking, the UPS Hub building and the airport’s Fire Station.

Passenger Terminal

14.17 The airport’s passenger terminal dates back to the 1960’s and has been incrementally developed over the years. The major extensions have included a check-in hall and baggage area in the 1990’s, a new pier, and extensions to Arrivals and improvements to the public transport facilities.

14.18 In 2014 work was completed on a new Security Search area and improvements to the airside Departure Lounge. These, and future planned works are intended to continue to improve the passenger experience, meet the developing needs of the passenger airlines and to meet changing regulatory and security requirements.

14.19 In order to handle passenger volumes of up to 10 million a year there is a need to provide additional terminal floor-space, increasing from 32,000m2 to some 75,000m2. This can be developed on land to the south and to the west of the existing terminal and

also to the east of Arrivals. Most of this land is currently used for passenger car parking that will be re-provided elsewhere on the airport site.

Cargo

14.20 The cargo buildings are either operated in-house by an airline, an integrated carrier such as DHL, UPS or Royal Mail. Third party cargo operators either make use of the large units or they utilise the facilities in the Transit Sheds in Cargo East. It will be the integrated carriers that will continue to drive the growth in the airport’s cargo operations and overall cargo volumes.

14.21 Land has been reserved for the further development of the DHL Hub building at Cargo West and land will also be safeguarded for a second major integrator hub in Cargo East.

14.22 Opportunities will be identified for incremental redevelopment and improvements to the existing Transit Sheds in Cargo East. A site for new cargo development, to the east of the current Royal Mail hub, will also be reserved.

Other Operational Facilities

Aircraft Maintenance

14.23 The Aircraft Maintenance Zone is to the west of the Central Passenger Zone and contains a number of aircraft hangars of various sizes. The largest hangar is the one previously occupied by bmi. The demand for old maintenance facilities is limited because of the availability of modern facilities elsewhere and cheaper labour costs in other parts of Europe.

Fire and Rescue

14.24 The airport’s Fire Station must be located so that the Fire Service can reach all parts of the airfield within a set response time, so a central location on the airport site is required. The Fire Service also requires regular access to the training ground which is on the north side of the runway. The Fire Station is currently located immediately to the east of the Central Passenger Apron in the centre of the airfield. To enable the development of additional aircraft stands the Fire Station may be relocated to the north side of the runway, close to the Fire Training Ground.

Air traffic Control and Navigational Aids

14.25 The airport’s primary radar is on the north side of the runway. This equipment is expected to be replaced and a site close to the existing radar will be safeguarded for this use. Should the runway extension works be undertaken, there will also be a need to relocate some of the approach lighting.

Aircraft Fuel

14.26 The principal Fuel Farm is located within the Aircraft Maintenance Zone and operated by Valero. The site provides storage tanks and parking areas for fuel bowsers and other equipment. The site currently does not have direct apron access and fuel bowsers have to use the internal road system to access the airfield security gates.

14.27 In the longer term, with the development of additional passenger apron adjacent to the Fuel Farm, it may be possible for fuel vehicles to remain airside to be fuelled. There is a second and third Fuel Farm located on the southern side of the Central Passenger Zone

and these could be relocated as part of the redevelopment of the Terminal and the Short-Stay Car Park area.

Flight Catering

14.28 The Flight Catering facility is in the Central Passenger Zone. The unit is currently served from a larger facility in Birmingham. Land will be provided within the airport site for the relocation of the Flight Catering Unit as a result of redevelopments in the Central Passenger Zone.

Operational Accommodation

14.29 There is a need to provide facilities for a range of operational functions that are needed to keep the airport operational, safe and secure. These uses generally require a location that has direct access to the airfield or is within the Central Passenger Zone.

14.30 There are a number of staff and vehicle search areas at entrances to the airfield. These will be upgraded as required, particularly to ensure that they meet operational and future development requirements of the express freight carriers. Revisions and upgrades to the security search areas will be considered as part of the plans for the future development of the DHL Hub and future developments at Cargo East. The eastern extension of the Central Passenger Apron will require the relocation of the consolidation of security search area next to the Fire Station.

14.31 Improvements to the arrivals and the UK Border Force Immigration and Customs facilities will be included in future improvements and developments to the passenger terminal. The policing of the airport site is carried out by Leicestershire Police from a Police Station in the Central Passenger Zone. Improvements to the Police Station will be considered as part of any future major passenger terminal developments.

14.32 Airfield operations have accommodation and storage facilities adjacent to the Passenger Terminal. This needs to be provided in an airside location, close to the airfield. Vehicle maintenance facilities are provided in the southern part of the Central Passenger Zone.

Business and General Aviation

14.33 Business aviation is made up of corporate aircraft operations, aerial surveys and the Regional Air Ambulance Service. Business and General Aviation facilities are mainly provided within the Aircraft Maintenance area and also on a site to the west of the DHL Hub.

Pegasus Business Park and Commercial Uses

14.34 Pegasus Business Park is in the south-west corner of the airport site. The Pegasus site covers some 26 hectares with around 10 hectares still available for development. The airport want to bring forward commercial development proposals associated with the airport within Pegasus Business Park, including offices, logistics, general warehousing and hotels.

14.35 Land to the south of the Pegasus Business Park, south of the A453 and to the west of the Moto Service Area has been identified by the airport as potential employment land. The airport’s land requirements outside the existing Operational Area will be kept under review.

Hotels

14.36 The range and the scale of hotels that serve the airport have developed gradually over the years and there are now four hotels. The requirement for on-site hotels will continue to be kept under review. On-airport hotels are needed to make it easy for passengers to access early or late flights, but they also provide accommodation for aircrews and other users and visitors to the airport.

Other Uses

14.37 There are a number of other small-scale uses that require a location within the airport’s Operational Area. These uses include a Petrol Filling Station that is currently sited adjacent to the Passenger Terminal. As the detailed proposals for the Passenger Terminal complex evolve there is an opportunity to consider the location of the Petrol Filling Station to ensure that it is in the most appropriate site to serve passengers and other users of the airport. A site on the main access road into the airport complex will be considered.

Environment

14.38 The airport has an environmental programme that is set out in the Environment Plan. Several environmental measures have land requirements. These include utilities and services, perimeter landscaping, recreational facilities such as the Airport Trail and the use of land outside the Operational Area for biofuels and renewable energy.

14.39 As the airport grows there will be a need to upgrade the capacity of the principal utility networks which will be routed in service corridors within the main development areas.

14.40 Additional storm-water storage will be provided as part of future development proposals, particularly new apron works. These works could be the extension of existing balancing ponds or the construction of new storage capacity on land south of the A453.

15 Key Issues

Economic

15.1 The Leicester & Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership’s (LLEP) Strategic Economic Plan (SEP) outlines a local economic growth strategy and priorities, and forms the basis of negotiating a growth deal with Government for a share of the Local Growth Fund. The SEP prioritises infrastructure investment in five priority Growth Areas, one of which is the East Midlands Enterprise Gateway (EMEG) area. EMEG is centred around East Midlands Airport, within the boundaries created by the M1 to the east, with the A50 and A42 to the north and south. The airport is seen as one of the businesses driving growth in the area.

15.2 Research into the economic and social impact of the airport has shown that including indirect and induced impacts, East Midlands Airport generates some £239m of annual GVA in the region. North West Leicestershire has 25% of its workforce employed in distribution, transport and logistics. This is a substantial local strength compared with the national average of 9%.

15.3 East Midlands Airport is the largest employment site in Leicestershire outside the City of Leicester. In 2013, 6,730 employees were based on the airport site, employed by 90 companies. Passenger related employment provides the largest proportion of airport

jobs (45%), with Cargo at 36%. Airport employees live in the local area with 42.4% living in Derbyshire, 23.2% living in Leicestershire and 23.5% living in Nottinghamshire.

15.4 The largest number of airport employees live in North West Leicestershire, with 1 in 47 of the working population in the district working at the airport. This is closely followed by South Derbyshire where 1 in 66 of the working population in that district work at the airport. In Erewash 1 in 80 of the working population are employed on the airport site. In addition 15% of airport based employees live in Derby city, 15% live in North West Leicestershire, 11% in South Derbyshire and 10% in Erewash. 4% live in Nottingham City and 2% live in Leicester City.

15.5 It is important to also recognise the range and the type of jobs that are available on-site at East Midlands Airport. These jobs include the highly skilled – pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance engineers through to retail and catering, fire service and security. There are also a wide range of jobs in the airport’s support activity– cargo, hotels and also a range of professions and occupations in companies that are based at Pegasus Business Park. The largest onsite employer is DHL with 1,575 staff.

Transport

15.6 The airport is very well connected by road, with direct access to the M1 and A42 and very close to the A453, A50 and A52.

15.7 There is a 24-hour a day, 7 days a week bus network connecting the airport to Derby Bus Station, Derby Train Station, Nottingham Broadmarsh Bus Station (with a five minute walk to Nottingham Train Station) and Nottingham City Centre, Leicester St Margaret Bus Station, Long Eaton and Long Eaton Train Station and Loughborough town centre.

15.8 There is no direct rail link but the airport is well connected to rail via the Skylink network of buses which has recently been extended to include Coalville and Shepshed. East Midlands Parkway rail station is approximately 6 miles away.

15.9 Whilst improving public transport remains a key priority, the need for accessibility through the highway network continues to be important, particularly for cargo and freight distribution. East Midlands Airport is the main UK base for DHL and UPS, along with significant operations by TNT. It is also the major mail airport in the UK. The express freight and mail operators provide a range of UK and international delivery services carrying a wide range of items and products that are for business and private customers.

15.10 The express freight operators provide an international next-day delivery service. This relies on the excellent surface access connectivity (90% of England and Wales is within a four hour (55mph) truck drive away from East Midlands Airport) along with the ability to operate aircraft at night.

15.11 There are in the region of 500 HGV movements to and from East Midlands Airport on a typical weekday. However because of the nature of the freight hubs at East Midlands Airport, with pure freight aircraft flying overnight, the vast majority of these vehicle movements take place very late at night (normally after 9pm) and very early in the morning (between 2am and 5am) and as such have no impact on peak motorway traffic levels.

15.12 The Surface Access Plan seeks to manage the growth in airport related road traffic in a responsible and in a sustainable way. This is because of:

The need to manage emissions from airport-related road traffic – Carbon

Dioxide and emissions that contribute to local air quality

Increasing congestion on the strategic road network, particularly the M1 and

the A42

Other major developments in the local area

National and local policy to encourage travel by the most sustainable mode

15.13 The airport will continue to work to increase public transport modal share, with 15% of passengers using public transport and 65% Single Occupancy Car Use as new long-term targets.

15.14 The private car will continue to be the primary mode of airport access, but the airport will continue to encourage wider public transport use and working to develop the network of bus routes and services. This will include increasing the frequencies on the Skylink network to Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Loughbrough and Long Easton, as well as looking to develop new services to Ilkeston, Coalville and Ashby. The airport will also continue to work with the train operators and Network Rail to encourage the better use of East Midlands Parkway Station.

Noise

15.15 Aircraft and airport operations result in high levels of noise that cause annoyance, particularly at night when background noise is generally lower. The principal source of noise generated by the EMA’s operations is aircraft noise. This can be lowered by reducing the number of aircraft movements, by the introduction of quieter aircraft and ensuring that aircraft operate as quietly as they are able.

15.16 Planning also has a role to play through the consideration of airport developments and the planning of noise sensitive developments. The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) requires local planning authorities to avoid noise giving rise to significant adverse impacts on health and quality of life as a result of new development (paragraph 123) and mitigate and reduce to a minimum other adverse impacts on health and quality of life arising from noise from new development, including through the use of conditions. The NPPF also recognises that development will often create some noise and existing businesses wanting to expand should not have unreasonable restrictions put on them because of changes in nearby land uses since they were established. The NPPF also refers to the Explanatory Note to the Noise Policy Statement for England (NPSE).

15.17 The NPSE introduces the concept of a Significant Observed Adverse Effect Level (SOAEL), which is the noise level above which significant adverse effects on health and quality of life occur. For airports the Aviation Policy Framework (paragraph 3.17) treats the 57dBLAeq 16 hour contour as the average level of daytime aircraft noise marking the approximate onset of significant community annoyance. There are no recommendations with regard to night time noise levels, however the 2011 Night Noise Guidelines for Europe recommend that the population should not be exposed to night noise levels greater than 40dBLnight during the part of the night when most people are in bed. An interim target of 55dBLnight is recommended in the situations where the achievement of NNG is not feasible in the short run for various reasons.

15.18 The airport publishes a Noise Action Plan that meets the requirements of the EU Environmental Noise Directive and the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006. It details how the airport will manage the noise environment in order to minimise, where practical, any adverse effect of airport operations on local communities. The latest 2013-2018 Noise Plan provides information on how effectively the airport is controlling the effect of noise arising from aircraft landing and taking off. It also provides 2011 noise maps together with the numbers of people and homes exposed to a range of noise levels.

Runway Extension

15.22 In February 2011, the District Council granted full planning permission (Ref: 00/00867/FUL) for the construction of 30m wide extensions to both the eastern and western ends of the existing runway at East Midlands Airport so as to extend the length of the runway by 190m, from 2,893m to 3,083m. A condition attached to the permission restricts the expansion of the 55dBLAEQ,8h contour and there is a Section 106 Agreement in place to introduce a sound Insulation Grant Scheme.

Air quality

15.23 Air pollution can pose a risk to human health and National Air Quality Standards have been set for a range of pollutants. East Midlands Airport monitors particulate matter (PM10), nitrogen dioxide and benzene. The main airport related sources of emissions are:

Staff and passenger journeys to and from the airport;

Aircraft engine emissions during taxiing, take-off and landing, auxiliary power

unit (APU) operation and engine testing;

Exhaust emissions from operational vehicles on site, airside and landside;

Energy generation equipment: diesel generators and boilers;

Fugitive emissions (evaporation) during fuelling of vehicles and aircraft; and

Miscellaneous emissions from activities such as aircraft fire training.

15.24 In addition, air quality at the airport is affected by emissions from local road traffic, and by other sources.

Safeguarding

15.25 The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) at paragraph 41 makes clear that local planning authorities should ‘identify and protect, where there is robust evidence, sites and routes which could be critical in developing infrastructure to widen transport choice’. The Aviation Policy Framework requires that land outside existing airports that may be required for airport development in the future needs to be protected against incompatible development until the Government has established any relevant policies and proposals in response to the findings of the Airports Commission, which is due to report in summer 2015.

Aerodrome Safeguarding

15.26 Major civil aerodromes, because of their importance to the UK air traffic system are protected through a process known as aerodrome safeguarding which functions through the planning system. Local planning authorities are required to consult the safeguarded aerodrome on those developments that could potentially affect the safety of aircraft and air traffic control operations. These developments can include the construction of tall structures in areas around the airport, developments that have the potential to attract birds (including pond creation, landscaping schemes and mineral extraction), and wind turbines and wind farms (within a 30km radius of the airport) that can interfere with radar and navigation systems.

15.27 Guidance on aerodrome safeguarding is set out in Circular 1/2003 that details the process and the consultation requirements that are required by the local planning authority and the airport.

Public Safety Zones

15.28 Public Safety Zones are designated areas of land at the end of the runways at the UK’s major airports within which development is restricted. This is to control any increases in the number of people living working or congregating in these areas. Government advice is set out in DfT Circular 01/2010 and is designed to prevent new developments that would result in a significant increase in the number of people living, working or congregating in the areas and that over time existing numbers should reduce.

15.29 East Midlands Airport’s Public Safety Zones extend over part of Donington Park to the west and a small area on the southern edge of Kegworth.

15.30 The extent of the Public Safety Zones may be reviewed to reflect changes in aircraft technology and changes in the numbers of aircraft movements. Should there be a requirement for a review of the Public Safety Zones, East Midlands Airport will work closely with the Civil Aviation Authority and the Department for Transport.
