TASK 1- Consideration of social, economic and environmental factors for
development of project
Background of current and previous project
The London City Airport (LCY) was constructed in 1980s and was inaugurated by Queen
Elizabeth II in 1987 as a part of regeneration plan London dock. The airport became popular
with its business flyers and continued to grow in 2005 with the construction of light rail which
created easy and quick transportation to LCY. Its closeness to Canary Wharf which is a business
airport and also its flights which landed on holiday destinations has helped the airport to its
continuous growth with the demand for its flights increasing every year. The number of
passengers it carry has grown to 40% in last 5 years by reaching to about 4.8 million passengers
which are expected to increase to about 11 million by 2035 (Ajmal And et. al., 2018). However,
various restrictions are put on its capabilities to carry the increasing number of passengers by the
London Borough of Newham which limits the capacity of carrying passengers to 6.5 million a
year and further putting limits on the number of flights per year to 111,000. Also operation time
are limited wherein the airport has to remain closed between 12:30 on Saturdays to 12:30 on
Sundays.
The LCY started a City Airport Development Programme (CADP) worth £480 million
so that the terminal building can be extended by 24500m² and a 3-storey passenger pier and 8
aircraft parking stands can be built. Also the airport intended to extend its aircraft taxiway along
its runway. This programme will help the airport to accommodate the increasing number of
passengers up to a limit of 6.5 million per year. This will also help the company to reduce its air
traffic and also will enable it to host aircraft that produce less noise which will help in reducing
noise pollution and will increase its sustainability (Jamshidi and et. al., 2015). This will also
make LCY the first airport to install a digital air traffic control tower in UK which will help in
increasing the safety of the aircraft and its passengers. In this report the advantage and
disadvantages of the project along with the challenges that are faced by LCY will be discussed in
detail.
The social sustainability advantages and disadvantages of project:
Sustainability is related to utilizing the available resources in such a manner that the
meets of current generation is met without compromising with the requirements of future
