Obvious that Yorkshire TV are mates with G***A. They just did a short item outlining the oroposed changes, quoting G***A (nobody else) then inviting the public to add their comments in the portal before the 15th. Without actually saying so, it was a clear invite to object. So much for media taking a neutral stance.

Report them for being biased - submit a standard broadcast standards complaint to Ofcom.

They are meaningless as only the objections are logged plus any 'own words' support. The vast majority of the support remains invisible to the public and apparently we wont know the true amount until the figures are included in the Planning Officer's report and recommendations.
Bradford Council’s response to the planning application has just been put on the portal. Broadly supportive with reservations regarding some of the statistics on aircraft movements and its impact on road traffic patterns with a suggestion LBA pay for the A1, A2 and A3 airport buses to become a 24 hour service.

Well that sounds very positive from Bradford council, a few minor amendments here and there but generally supportive of the amendments to night flying. With the weight of Bradford Council surely Leeds City Council must take note of this, mind you this is Leeds we are talking about so anything can happen.Bradford Council’s response to the planning application has just been put on the portal.

Still showing 15th October for me looking on the portal

I only asked LBA this afternoon and they said the consultation ends tomorrow. So if they have extended again, LCC hadn't told LBA!

I just can't understand why they had to extend the consultation in the first place, as there was plenty of time. It is no surprise that it takes so long to get things done in the UK.
Are you sure you’re looking at the correct application? If I search on the portal under LBA the night time application is third in the list. The first one on the list is for Premier Inn which spookily has a closing date of 4 November!

Apologies. As you said Len.
I was looking at the first on the list when I searched under 'Airport' which is where I've always looked. Anyway Im very happy it hasn't changed.
Sorry for any anguish caused!
As I understand it today just marks the end of the consultation period, the next stage being consideration of the application by the Plans Panel (West) the next meeting of which is on Thursday 29 October, followed by another on 26 November.
On the planning portal the determination deadline is showing as 17 November but who knows with LCC who seem to regard deadlines as a moveable feast. I just have a feeling this will drag on and on.
In other news two more documents have appeared on the portal, one from the Environmental Studies Transport Strategy Team who merely say they have sent their comments direct to the case officer-how very open of them! The second new document is from the Influencing Travel Behaviour Team having a general moan about a lack of an updated plan to get passengers and staff out of their cars when travelling to and from LBA. They need to have a word with “Our Tracy” about the rail link. Plus they are most concerned about
“long stay secure cycle parking for
passengers.” Don’t get me started on that one!

Well providing cycle parking shouldn't be too costly, although Im not sure who would use it.

My information is that the Council don't expect to make a determination this side of the New Year. No doubt they have more important plans to consider first. LBA are aware.
