 The plans include increasing the size of the terminal |
Bristol International Airport has revealed final details of its �100m expansion plans. The main proposals are to increase the size of the terminal, add more parking spaces and build a hotel, to cope with up to nine million passengers a year.
The master plan was drawn up following consultation with local people over the publication last year of a blueprint for the next decade.
A Stop Bristol Airport Expansion campaign was formed to fight the plans.
Further research
The main concerns are increased noise, pollution and traffic in the area.
But managing director, Andrew Skipp, said they had listened to the worries and tweaked their proposals accordingly.
"The key issues that came out of the consultation related to greenbelt, car parking, and service access," he said.
"We've gone back and changed some significant parts of the master plan, and carried out further research projects, so we can show the airport is not going to affect people by noise, that air quality will not change, that the airport can grow to take nine million passengers without impact on others."
