We are now carefully considering all the feedback received, including for our improved proposals to go even further to mitigate environmental issues, including noise, air quality and climate change.
These reflect our determination to examine every aspect of sustainability and the impact of all aspect of the airport’s operation, to ensure we can meet our ambition to become a leader among the most sustainable airports in the UK.
This includes developing a unique ground-breaking initiative, Green Controlled Growth, to ensure that the future growth we want will be green growth and, crucially, independently monitored.
Our proposed growth of the airport will create 12,000 new jobs and an additional £1.6bn in economic activity.
Growing the airport will also act as a catalyst for Luton to become a leading hub for green technology, research and finance. It will therefore play a crucial role in delivering a more sustainable, prosperous and healthier future for the people of Luton – a very important example of levelling up.
We remain committed to engaging with our communities, and listening carefully to challenge and feedback to help us improve our plans, and will provide further updates before submitting our application to the Government for a Development Consent Order (DCO).
