Stansted Airport Is Still Growing
Topics: Stansted airport parking
Stansted airport parking is about to get more difficult!
Parking near airports has become increasingly difficult over the years due to a combination of increased volume of traffic and a rise in the number of people using international flights. The world has become a smaller place and the demand on business people to be accessible has grown. They are expected to jet from one country to another with a moments notice and they do it. Particularly in the current economic climate, it is important for people to feel that their jobs are secure, this is why they make themselves available yet it can only be the few without families that are truly happy with this lifestyle.
There is also the increase in the amount of people taking foreign holidays. This was expected to ease off due to world financial doom and gloom and for a while, it did tail off. However, this situation has also given rise to the fact that people feel the need for a holiday more than ever.
To this end, airports continue to get busy, people continue to use their cars to get to the airport and demand for Stansted airport parking grows.
BAA announced earlier this month that the Government have agreed permission for increased passenger numbers on Stansted’s existing single runway. This means Stansted will now be able to service up to 35 million passengers a year. So, despite the economic crises, the projected figures for the amount of flight passengers is set to grow. This means that despite some people getting taxi’s to the airport, a percentage of that growth will continue to use their own cars, thus needing extra parking.
Of course, all airports have a certain number of parking facilities and Stansted airport parking is no different in this respect. Allocated and managed car parks cover vast expanses of land near the airport and they are nearly always filled to capacity. Does this mean that extra passengers passing through will mean extra parking space needed? Well, it will certainly need to be considered. Road traffic hold ups are already notorious around airports – if extra traffic is directed towards them, the situation can only get worse.
Stansted was the only airport to have a cap on the number of passengers it can allow through it’s system in a year and they have been waiting since their application nearly two years ago to have that cap of 25 million raised. It is the third busiest airport in the country and earlier this year made an application to the Government to install a second runway to cope with the amount of traffic.
Of course, these sorts of applications come with all sorts of complications, not only for air traffic but also for those on the ground and living nearby. Not only do they have to cope with extra plane noise but also the increase in road traffic to and from the airport. There is also the issue of Stansted airport parking and how this encroaches on surrounding landscapes. However, it would be sensible to assume that, as the airport has been there for a long time that you wouldn’t purchase a home near an airport if you were concerned with any of the above.
That said, maybe there is a level of noise and nuisance that people are willing to put up with when purchasing a neighbouring property and they don’t want this to increase. Again, that’s probably not a reasonable expectation in these modern times. One for the government to consider, I guess.
