Free admission. Seats can be reserved in advance by contacting SSE. STORM FORCE OF OPPOSITION LINES UP TO CHALLENGE BAA PLANS A storm force of opposition to BAA’s plans for an airport bigger than <strong>Heath</strong>row at Stansted is being lined up as Stop Stansted Expansion (SSE) prepares to stage a major rally on Wednesday 2 April in Bishop’s Stortford. The event, to be held at the Rhodes Centre, South Road at 8pm, will be an important opportunity for the community and its allies to reaffirm commitment to fighting the airport expansion proposals which would have far-reaching implications. Chaired by Hertford and Stortford MP Mark Prisk, SSE speakers Peter Sanders (Chairman) and Carol Barbone (Campaign Director) will be joined at the rally by Parliamentarians and peers, council leaders and representatives of special interest and environmental groups. To date, some 15 speakers have confirmed that they will be attending to vocalize their opposition to BAA’s plans, including the Conservative Shadow Aviation Minister Julian Brazier MP, Labour peer Baroness McIntosh, Christopher Beazley MEP, Lord Hanningfield and Caroline Lucas MEP. The National Trust, Woodland Trust, CPRE and Greenpeace will also address the rally. Messages of support from Harlow MP Bill Rammell, who will be out of the country on that date, and the Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesman Norman Baker MP are also expected. Saffron Walden MP Sir Alan Haselhurst will provide the closing address. If BAA's plans for a second runway at Stansted were to be approved it would be the UK 's biggest airport development project since the Second World War. Over a thousand acres of unspoilt countryside and ancient woodlands would be bulldozed, cutting a swathe through the heritage-rich villages of Molehill Green and Broxted, but the effects of BAA’s proposals would be felt across the region and beyond. continued next page.................
........continued form previous page Speaking ahead of the event, SSE Campaign Director Carol Barbone said: “The level of opposition to BAA’s plans is unprecedented as we prepare to fight – and overturn – its wholly unsustainable proposals.” Admission to the rally is free. A number of seats are available for advance reservation and can be obtained by contacting SSE on info@stopstanstedexpansion.com or 01279 870558. www.stopstanstedexpansion.com 01279 870 558 PRESENTATION WILL BE GIVEN BY SSE ON THE 14TH MAY AT HATFIELD HEATH ANNUAL PARISH MEETING IN THE URC HALL STANSTED EXPANSION WHERE ARE WE NOW? ...........continued from front page November 2006. BAA subsequently appealed and this was heard at a five month public inquiry during the summer and autumn of 2007. The Inspector’s report has now been submitted - in confidence - to the Secretaries of State for Communities and for Transport who are considering their decision. An announcement was expected by Easter but an eleventh hour admission by BAA that it significantly understated the air pollution impacts of the evidence presented to the inquiry, have led to calls from the main parties at the inquiry opposing the expansion plans for more information from the airport operator, as part of their opportunity to respond to the admission. This means it could be at least May before a result is known. The Second Runway Application An application has now been submitted by BAA to Uttlesford District Council for a second runway at Stansted which would make the airport bigger than <strong>Heath</strong>row today in every sense – planes, passengers and landgrab. Comprising hundreds of documents (available online and at many public libraries), the challenge now is for the community to make representations to the council in anticipation of a further public inquiry which is expected to span the whole of 2009. Representations need to be made in the first instance to Uttlesford District Council by late June. Once the application is ‘called in’ by the Government, preparations for the public inquiry will begin in earnest and there will be further opportunities for members of the public and their elected representatives, as well as special interest groups, to comment. The end of the inquiry will not bring an immediate result, however. The Inspector’s report will take some time to complete and a decision is unlikely before late 2010. Further information is available at Stop Stansted Expansion’s website – see particularly the Second Runway Quick Links page at www.stopstanstedexpansion.com/second_runway.html Details of BAA’s planning application are summarised at www.stopstanstedexpansion.com/second_runway.html where there is also a link to the online version of the application.
