MAPLIN - PLANNING ASPECTS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON AIRPORT DESIGN

The paper deals first with the specific problems that are a direct outcome of the site choice, in particular the problems of access to the airport. Land-use planning for the reclaimed site is discussed, including the way in which the airport will develop in stages to its ultimate four runway configuration. The strategic planning of the terminal zone is dealt with in some detail, in particular the influence that rail access will have on the development of passenger facilities and vice versa. Inter-terminal movements and other communication requirements are discussed, showing how an integrated public transport system serving the airport link to principal areas of new urbanization and the seaport create both an opportunity and a challenge for the future.
