International- greenhouse emissions, trade benefits, tourism impacts
o Planning process cost £63 million over 14 years, Included a 46 month public
enquiry, Construction costs were £4.2 billion

in exports, larger aeroplanes (e.g. airbus 380: 555-seater ‘superjumbos’) need
bigger infrastructure, accommodating modern planes can reduce air and
noise pollution while still increasing passenger numbers

completed in 2011
o Impacts: Workforce (60 contractors), noise, traffic, dust, security, land take,
hydrology, wider infrastructure (road and rail inks, car parking), radar

o Land take of limited importance- brownfield site in urban area, Four storey
building, 600 seat restaurant, 891 space car park opposite Leisure World
o Impacts on the immediate area construction: noise, dust, odours, traffic,
infrastructure, landscape & heritage. Operation: traffic (15% increase
predicted- junction improvements proposed as mitigation), council requiring
bus links to station, city centre and ferries; landscape and heritage, potential
economic impacts on other local business (John Lewis objected)
o Impacts beyond the immediate area traffic, in operation as far as regional
motorways & interactions with docks operations and events, -economic
benefits (£55m pa turnover predicted, 500 jobs locally) but businesses across
the region may be impacted
