Luton Airport Case Study Airport type: Public Website: http://www.london-luton.co.uk/ Owner: Luton Borough Council Coordinates: 51°52′29″N 000°22′06″W Operator: London Luton Airport Operations Ltd Passengers (2015): 12,263,505 (Abertis: 90%; Aena: 10%) Aircraft Movement (2015): 114,083 In light of its expansion plans and the expected increase in demand at the time of the London 2012 Olympics, the operator of Luton Airport needed to understand levels of service and other conditions experienced in the main pedestrian areas of the airport. The key pedestrian areas to be simulated and analysed were: • the check-in • the stairwell leading to the ‘Central Search’ • the ‘Central Search' • international arrivals’ immigration and passport control desks • the domestic and international baggage reclaim halls • and Customs Legion built and simulated two models: one for departures and one for arrivals. In the departures model – using the projected peak demand for 2012 – we found that the security and passport control areas of the airport could not cope with demand when all the check-in desks were open. Better management of the check-in desks, including strategic closures of desks, reduced the demand in the affected areas to acceptable levels. Simulations also identified areas of unused space within the airport, which could accommodate services and functions without interfering with the check-in process (e.g. retail, smoking areas, security, toilets). The arrivals model confirmed that all queuing and waiting times for inbound passengers would fall within International Air Transport Association (IATA) standards. The outputs used for the study included: • 2D/3D simulation visualisation • Space Utilisation Maps • Cumulative Density Maps • Evacuation Time Maps • Multiple Cumulative Graphs Tel +44 (0) 20 7793 0200 www.legion.com [email protected] .

Introduction 1.1 The Urban Capacity Report sets out the different strands of policy and practice that, as a combined approach, demonstrate the Council are seeking every opportunity across Central Bedfordshire to maximise the use of available land within settlements, before looking to greenfield sites within the countryside in order to accommodate future growth requirements. This will ensure the Local Plan meets the requirements of the NPPF and the emerging direction of future policy as set out in the Housing White Paper. 2. Key Findings 2.1 The Urban Capacity Report discusses the following strands of policy and practice: Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis Urban Capacity Potential Study (2016) 2.2 Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis have a significant role to play in contributing towards growth within the Luton Housing Market Area (HMA). The Council commissioned Nexus Planning to prepare an Urban Capacity Study to identify the potential for achieving additional capacity from developments within the Luton, Dunstable and Houghton Regis conurbation. The Study conducted a two stage assessment: Stage One – A baseline assessment confirming the sites identified in the SHLAAs and ELRs for Central Bedfordshire and Luton Borough were still suitable for residential development. No new sites were considered. Stage Two – Testing the sites against alternative densities to see whether they could be increased to deliver additional homes. 2.3 The study concluded there may be an opportunity to increase development capacity by 148-496 dwellings within Central Bedfordshire, achieved through increasing density.

With the ever increasing population and the need to travel it is not possible to build enough roads to tackle congestion. There is also the concern about climate change. Both these have brought the need to change travel habits into more sustainable ways such as walking, cycling, use of public transport and car sharing. 1.2 Sustainable travel can offer a form of physical activity that can improve health at any stage in life, from childhood through to old age and is cost effective. Where people are inactive, encouraging people to undertake sustainable travel such as walking and cycling will help contribute to the reduction of illnesses and diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and mental health. 1.3 Everyone who lives, works or travels in Luton has a part to play in reducing congestion and carbon emissions. 1.4 The strategic direction is covered in the Local Transport Plan and this Sustainable Travel Plan covers the implementation of the Sustainable Travel Strategy (walking, cycling and public transport) to enable Luton residents and visitors to make Smarter Choices when considering their mode of travel.
