Site address: Bristol Airport, North Side Road, Felton, Wrington, BS48 3DP 18/P/5118/OUT Page 1 of 235 Planning and Regulatory Committee 10 February 2020 Summary of recommendation It is recommended that subject to referral to the Secretary of State and the completion of a S106 legal agreement, this application be APPROVED subject to planning conditions. The full recommendation is set out at the end of this report. Appendices There are 4 appendices to this report. Appendix 1 - index of the abbreviations used in this report Appendix 2 - summary of all representations received. Appendix 3 - details of the proposed heads of terms for the S106 agreement. Appendix 4 - list of the current documents supporting the application. Committee site inspection A member site inspection was held on 14th June 2019. Background and key planning history Bristol Airport (BA) opened in 1957. Expansion in the 1960’s saw extensions to the runway and passenger terminal. The 1980’s brought a large growth in passenger numbers through the expansion of tour and charter markets. In the early 1990’s the projected passenger growth was forecast to exceed the capacity of the terminal and with no scope for further extensions, plans were prepared for a new passenger terminal. Planning permission (ref no. 1287/91) granted in 1995 included a replacement passenger terminal and re-routing part of the A38 next to the airport. Both elements opened in 2000. At that time BA handled 2.1 million passengers per annum (mppa). This increased to 3.9 mppa by 2003 and 6.3 mppa by 2008. In 2011, outline planning permission (ref no. 09/P/1020/OT2) was granted to increase the operational capacity of BA from 7.2 to 10 mppa. The included over 30 separate developments. The permission was subject to a Section 106 legal agreement. The main obligations in the S106 Agreement required BA to: fund new and more frequent pubic transport services to and from the airport; provide an environmental mitigation fund; develop a skills and employment plan; make financial contributions towards strategic infrastructure projects and undertake air quality monitoring. Bristol Airport Limited (BAL) has implemented most elements the 10 mppa permission, although some are still to be commenced or completed. An on-site hotel was built in 2015 under a separate planning permission (Ref No. 14/P/0314/F). In 1997 BAL served 1.6 million passengers. Since then annual passengers have increased in all but one year. In 2019 BAL handled 8.9 million passengers. They expect to reach their present permitted capacity of 10 million passengers per annum (mppa) in 2021. To ensure that they can continue to meet passenger demands into the future, BAL are preparing a new Airport Master Plan. This will set a long-term strategy for phased growth of the airport to meet a projected increase in passenger numbers, which could increase up to 20 mppa by the mid 2040’s. BAL’s initial development strategy was set out in a document called: ‘Your Airport, Your Views’, which was consulted on in 2018. The first phase of growth to achieve 12 mppa by the mid-2020s is the subject of this application. 18/P/5118/OUT Page 2 of 235 Planning and Regulatory Committee 10 February 2020 Bristol Airport (BA) BA is in the parish of Wrington, about 4km north-east from the centre of the village. It is 1.6km west of Felton and 3.2km west of Winford. Bristol city centre is about 11km north- east of the airport. The Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty begins 3km south of the airport. The airport’s main road access is from the A38. There are two roundabout entrances in to the airport from the A38: the northern access to the passenger terminal and adjoining car parks and a southern access, which serves the ‘Silver Zone’ car park and private aviation facilities. The airport is approximately 196 hectares in area, and it is on an elevated plateau between 165–192 metres above Ordnance Datum. Most of BA is in the Green Belt, save for 44 hectares at its north side. This area, known as the ‘Green Belt Inset’, includes the passenger terminal, air traffic control tower, hotel, multi-storey car park and surface car parks. The central part of the airport comprises the runway, aircraft taxiways and the aircraft-stands. There are 32 aircraft stands at present, but the 10 mppa consent allows 3 more to be added. The numbering sequence is not however successive (for example there are no stand numbers 17-20) such that stand numbers continue up to stand 39. The south side of the airport includes private aviation buildings, a helicopter unit, fire station, new admin offices for BAL staff and long-stay car parks (the ‘Silver Zone’). BA is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The Proposed Development The application seeks outline planning permission, with some details (‘reserved matters’) included to increase the operational capacity of Bristol Airport from its current cap of 10 mppa up to 12 mppa. It comprises the following elements: North Side of Airport • A four-storey extension to the west side of the passenger terminal providing approximately 11,000 square metres of additional floor space. • A two-storey extension to the south side of the passenger terminal providing approximately 3,600 square metres of additional floor space. • Canopies over the forecourt entrance of the passenger terminal. • A new passenger walkway approximately 275 metres long to the east side of the passenger terminal. This will have a floor area of approximately 3,000 square metres. • A new eastern pier for passenger access to the eastern stands. This will have a floorspace of approximately 3,815 square metres. • An additional multi-storey car park (MSCP3) to provide 2,150 spaces over 5 levels adjacent to the current MSCP. The MSCP will occupy a footprint of around 1.12 hectares. • A two-lane (one-way) gyratory road system approximately 700 metres long. • A new service yard to the west side of the passenger terminal and north of the western walkway. This will be used for the delivery of goods and as a waste management area. Its site area is approximately 0.4 hectare. 18/P/5118/OUT Page 3 of 235 Planning and Regulatory Committee 10 February 2020 Central Area • An aircraft taxiway link at the eastern end of the runway, approximately 170 metres long. • Widening the southern edge of the northern most taxiway (‘Taxiway GOLF’). This will have a site area of approximately 1.81 hectares. • Changes to the current restrictions on aircraft stands 38 and 39 to allow: - the use of mobile power generators; - installation and use of aircraft auxiliary power units; and - use of aircraft engines for taxiing (as opposed to towing). Southern Area • Change the seasonal use of the ‘Cogloop’ 3,650 space car-park, which is currently only allowed to be used between May to October each year, to all-year-round use, with permanent fixed lighting and CCTV. • An extension to the ‘Silver Zone’ car park comprising approximately 2,700 additional spaces for all-year-round use. This site will have a site area of approximately 5.1 hectares, and it is on agricultural land which adjoins current the operational boundary of the airport. Night Flights Condition 38 of 09/P/1020/OT2 (the 10 mppa permission) caps ‘night time’ flights (defined as 23:30-06:00 Hours) to 4000 per year, with a maximum of 3000 flights in the British Summer Time and 1000 movements in the British Winter Time. BAL propose to retain the annual cap of 4000 night-time flights at 12 mppa but remove the seasonal restrictions. Off-Site Works Alterations to the A38 highway at the Downside Road and West Lane junctions as well as carriageway improvements to a section of the existing A38. These are described in ‘Issue 10’ of this report. The table below provides a breakdown of the proposed development and it identifies those ‘reserved matters’ included in this application.

  • Invertebrate Survey of the A30 and A38 Road Verges in Area 1 (Cornwall and Devon) Steven Falk Mark Tunmore October 2015
    Inspiring change for Important Invertebrate Areas in the UK Invertebrate Survey of the A30 and A38 road verges in Area 1 (Cornwall and Devon) 11th September 2014 Susan Thompson - Grants & Trusts Officer Steven Falk Mark Tunmore Saving the small things that run the planet October 2015 1 Executive summary Between late May and late August 2015, Buglife Services carried out an invertebrate survey of the A30 and A38 in Devon and Cornwall. 41 visits to 23 sample points were undertaken on the A30 and 25 visits to 18 sampling points were undertaken on the A38, and a range of invertebrate groups were targeted. 866 taxa were recorded, the list being dominated by flies (361), beetles (177), butterflies & moths (109), bugs (82), bees, ants & aculeate wasps (53), spiders & harvestmen (50), grasshoppers & crickets (11) and dragonflies & damselflies (11). Pitfall trapping (not permitted) would have extended the beetle and bug lists greatly. The list included a number of rare and scarce species (notably the tachinid fly Policheta unicolor and lygaeid bug Trapezonotus ullrichi) and seemingly the first SW England record for the Southern oak bush-cricket (Meconema meridionalis) which is a recent British colonist. The list reveals the tremendous variety of life cycle strategies and other ecological relationships associated with road verge invertebrates. Pollinators are very well represented within the species list. The list and sample sizes reveal the strong influence of surrounding habitat, geographic location, altitude and underlying geology/ground conditions. There is a discernible ‘Bodmin Moor effect’ (decreased abundance and diversity of thermophilic invertebrates with altitude) and a strong ‘Dartmoor effect’ (increased abundance and diversity of thermophilic invertebrates on the A38 east of Dartmoor).

  • The Sandford Gulf and Other Lost Caves of Sandford Hill
    THE SANDFORD GULF AND OTHER LOST CAVES OF SANDFORD HILL By R. M. Taviner During the 18 th century, miners’ working on the western outliers of the Mendip Hills intercepted several small but notable cave systems, including the Banwell caves, Loxton Cavern and Hutton Cavern. Most were subsequently lost, although several have recently been rediscovered by cave explorers, often by following clues provided by the antiquarians who dutifully recorded them. Not all of these caverns have been rediscovered however, including three well documented sites on Sandford Hill. The first, Elephant Cave - which contained the skeleton of a full sized elephant - was recorded in 1770, while the better documented Sandford Bone Fissure was excavated by William Beard, beginning in 1837. Both of these sites are important, but it is the third lost cave, the legendary Sandford Gulf, that most exercises the minds of cavers. It is hoped that this article will help to bring some clarity to proceedings, and through a process of elimination, propose a precise location for the missing Gulf - a very good place to start digging! Sandford Hill from the North-West Map data ©2016 Google ELEPHANT CAVE The full details of this mysterious cave were included in a letter dated 30 th January 1770, sent by William Jeffries of Wrington to The Rev. Alexander Catcott, clergyman, geologist and author of A Treatise on the Deluge. ‘Where these Bones were found in almost the highest part of the Hill on the north Side: they lay in an East and West Direction four fathom deep in a loose Strata composed mostly of small Fragments of limestone, Sand etc.

    EC Directive 92/43 on the Conservation of Natural Habitats and of Wild Fauna and Flora Citation for Special Area of Conservation (SAC) Name: North Somerset and Mendip Bats Unitary Authority/County: Bath and North East Somerset, North Somerset, Somerset SAC status: Designated on 1 April 2005 Grid reference: ST480544 SAC EU code: UK0030052 Area (ha): 561.19 Component SSSI: Banwell Caves SSSI, Banwell Ochre Caves SSSI, Brockley Hall Stables SSSI, Compton Martin Ochre Mine SSSI, King’s Wood and Urchin Wood SSSI, The Cheddar Complex SSSI, Wookey Hole SSSI Site description: The Cheddar complex and Wookey Hole areas support a wide range of habitats which provide feeding grounds for bats. These include semi-natural dry grasslands of which the principal community present is sheep’s-fescue – meadow oat-grass (Festuca ovina – Helictotrichon pratense) grassland which occurs on rock ledges and on steep slopes with shallow limestone soil, especially in the dry valleys and gorges and on the south-facing scarp of the Mendips. King’s Wood and Urchin Wood have developed over limestone which outcrops in parts of the site and forms a steep scarp to the south-east. There is mostly oak Quercus robur and ash Fraxinus excelsior woodland, though some areas are dominated by small-leaved lime Tilia cordata with both maiden and coppice trees. Other canopy trees include yew Taxus baccata, cherry Prunus avium and wild service tree Sorbus torminalis. There is a rich ground flora including many ferns and mosses. The limestone caves and mines of the Mendips and the north Somerset hills provide a range of important breeding and hibernation sites for lesser horseshoe bat Rhinolophus hipposideros and greater horseshoe bat Rhinolophus ferrumequinum.
