Masterplan

The Department for Transport's White Paper, "The Future of Air Transport" has set out a strategic framework for the development of airport capacity in the United Kingdom and it states that Exeter, "has a distinctive role in serving the local catchment area and there is significant scope for development without major environmental impacts".

The airport's future development is in accordance with the DfT's Airport Master Plans Guidance - Regulatory Impact Assessment.  The Masterplan provides a mechanism for explaining a future strategic framework and sets out proposals for major infrastructure development.  

The Exeter Airport Masterplan details runway and terminal capacity constraints which include aircraft size, scheduling, environmental and safety issues.  It is submitted for consultation during early 2008 and offers a wide range of stakeholders the opportunity to comment on the airport's future.

The local planning authority, East Devon District Council, will also oversee all future development and the airport will take into account the Environmental Issues.

Details of Exeter Airport's Draft Masterplan will appear here in the next few weeks.
