Site Plan 

Site Plan

 1 Expansion of the Passenger Terminal
The existing terminal will be extended to the east and west, doubling the size of the building and delivering increased capacity at security and immigration, and improving passenger comfort levels 
 2 Aircraft Parking
Additional space will be required to accommodate aircraft, so the existing apron (the area on which aircraft are parked) will be extended to the east and west.
 3 Walkways
Two walkways (or piers) will serve the extended aprons, enabling passengers to walk between aircraft and the terminal building and reducing the use of buses to board and disembark flights.
 4 Additional Car Parking
Alongside challenging targets for increased public transport use, some new car parking facilities will be required.  Development will be concentrated on the north side of the airport.
 5 Public Transport Interchange
Using the top level of the multi-storey car park, a new public transport interchange will provide convenient pick and drop off facilities for buses and coaches.
 6 Fuel Storage
A new underground storage facility for aviation fuel will be located in the north west corner of the long stay car park.
7 Office Building
Located to the east of the existing control tower, office space will be used by airport and airline staff.
