"Hidden" Plans for TWO new Terminals at Heathrow.
 
"Hidden" Plans for two new Terminals at Heathrow.

By Jonathon Carr-Brown

The Sunday Times

13th October 2002

PROPOSALS to build two new terminals at Heathrow are being considered
as part of plans to increase the airport's capacity, government
documents have revealed, writes Jonathon Carr-Brown.

The terminals would be in addition to the planned terminal 5, which
was given the go-ahead last year after a four-year planning inquiry.
Local residents accuse the transport department of trying to conceal
plans for the new building work. The plans do not appear on the
government website or in public consultation documents outlining
proposals to build a new runway at the airport, released in July.

The new documents - buried in an obscure appendix of a separate report
- show plans are advanced to create two more terminals, including one
for transit passengers.

Campaigners against the airport's expansion claim the disclosure shows
that the consultation over the new runway is a sham and that hundreds
of homeowners, who could have their houses demolished, are being
misled about the scale of the plans.

Paul de Zylva, aviation spokesman for Friends of the Earth, said:
"This is not a proper consultation. People could be forgiven for
thinking the government was trying to pull the wool over their eyes."

Heathrow campaigners became suspicious two weeks ago when Mike
Hodgkinson, the chief executive of BAA, which runs Britain's main
airports, told residents' meetings that "additional facilities" would
be needed if a third runway was built.

The campaigners say that, when pressed, Hodgkinson said a sixth
terminal would be required and referred to the government's
consultation process. Despite searches, the only reference found in
the main transport department consultation document was a paragraph
talking about extra terminal capacity being provided by
"reconfiguring" terminals 1, 2 and 3 and space to the south of the
airport.

Further investigations led to the discovery of maps and diagrams
produced by Halcrow, the government's consultants. These show that a
new runway would lead to the £1.6billion redevelopment of terminals 1,
2 and 3, the doubling in size of terminal 4 to create a new terminal,
and the building of another new one for transit passengers. The
estimated cost would be £550m.

"This has massive implications for hundreds of homeowners sandwiched
between the proposed new runway and the old one," said John Stewart of
the Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise. "Any
properties not knocked down will be blighted for ever."

A BAA spokesman said: "If a third runway was built it would require
additional facilities." Asked whether that meant a sixth terminal, he
said: "That question is part of our considerations but we have never
used the term 'sixth terminal'."

The transport department said: "If Heathrow is given permission to
build a new runway it will be up to them to come up with detailed
plans." The need for new terminal facilities will be acute if a new
runway is built. It could lead to an increase of almost 50% in flight
numbers, from 461,000 to 688,000 a year by 2030. Passenger numbers
would rise from 64m to 130m.

report snipped

Now add on the additional surface transport that this would create and the
scheme becomes even more problematic.

I can't see why it would bother the "hundreds of people whos
house is going to be demolished" that the scale of the plans
are being hidden. If your house is in the "to be demolished"
list it makes not one jot what the reason is, IMHO.

Developing Stansted into a 4 runway airport with a high
speed train connection (south, north and sast) and
closing LHR completely.

I know that the locals won't like this, but there are far less
of them.

We (in the UK) have to bite the bullet on this sometime
otherwise this tinkering with LHR is going to go on forever.

Bit bloody useless for all of the passengers living in the M4 corridor
for whom Heathrow is usefully situated. Shame that Bristol airport is
such a pain in the arse to get to. Otherwise, and if the flights went
where I want to go, I'd happily never use a London airport again.
Especially Gatwick shudder.

Like I said, there's going to be some losers here.

But IMHO something radical has to be done, and developing
LHR is not it.

Hey! Why Stansted? Why not Luton - much better placed for the transport
links. Run a rail spur Stevenage - Luton - Leighton Buzzard and you've got
the WCML, MML and ECML all linked in. If the Oxford - Cambridge line comes
back to life, there's an easy link to the GWML too.

I know that the locals won't like this, but there are far less of them.


How about this airport on an artificial island in the Thames estuary,
then? Even fewer NIMBYs!

Because Stansted is the one with the least people under

Why not Luton


Because, like LHR, it's surrounded by a town

Maybe there's a case for expanding all/many/some regional airports, like
Bristol, but as part of that expansion also increase/improve the local
infrastructure to support them properly. Better
road/rail/bus/cycle/pedestrian links, with a lot more scope for additional,
indirect to the airport, investment, say industrial estates etc that might
be better being some way away from habitation.

Ask yourself which came first Heathrow Airport or the M4 corridor and

Half the passengers using Heathrow are transit passengers anyway and
they can transit anywhere.

Don't really see the relevance. Simple question of where people live and
how easy it is to get to an airport. Heathrow currently serves those
people. Closing it and expanding Stansted would not. Which came first
seems completely irrelevant to how current transport requirements are
best met.

Not totally acurate. What became the present mainline railway was initially
proposed by Bristolians to move their goods to London and the railway
doesn't follow the Bath Road.

Bit bloody useless for all of the passengers living in
the M4 corridor for whom Heathrow is usefully situated.

Ask yourself which came first Heathrow Airport or the M4
corridor and its passengers that live there.
Hum, when was the mainline railway built?

Why would they build a mainline railway to an area with
no people in it.

To (in this case) to get to Bristol and the transatlantic
shipping trade, same applies to Southamppton and Plymouth.
Swindon was just a convienient place to put a workshop,
railway more or lesss followed the track of the Bath Road an
ancient track and a turnpike.
Not totally acurate. What became the present mainline railway
was initially proposed by Bristolians to move their goods to
London and the railway doesn't follow the Bath Road.


Then they must have moved it since I was a kid.
Nope, try looking at a map. (Which is not to say that the two
don't get close and even cross in one or two places between
London and Reading.)
Which is what I said in the first place.
You said, "railway more or lesss followed the track of the Bath
Road an ancient track and a turnpike" indicates that the two are
close to each other for most or all of the distance, they're not.
Except for a couple of locations, they don't even get close.



More or less, all the implications are your fantasies.


That's about as close to an apology as I'm likely to get from you so
I suppose it will have to suffice.


Whatever, I see it more as ask a silly question, get a silly answer,
perhaps you should modify your interrogtion technique,


Try checking your facts rather than relying on seventy-five year old
memories of a limited area.
