Plan to close East Midlands Airport for power station demolition

No formal application for any demolition works has been submitted to the council yet, but site operator Uniper asked the council if an environmental impact assessment (EIA) will be needed.

An EIA determines whether a development or related works are likely to have a significant effect on the surrounding environment.

The council has replied saying the site currently does not need one, the LDRS said.

A letter from Manchester Airports Group, which runs EMA, written in response to the EIA screening request, warns the works “must take place” during a “scheduled closure” of the airport.

It adds: “We have previously advised this and look forward to further discussions with the applicant about when that would be most appropriate for all stakeholders.”
