Halcrow provided BAA with support on surface access issues in their recent application to expand operations to 25 million passengers per annum. Halcrow are currently working with BAA to develop surface access proposals to support a planning application to enable the airport to further increase passenger throughput to 35 million passengers per annum.

	Responsibility for landside bus, coach, rail and highway forecasts and assessments up to the granting of planning permission in 2002 for Phase 3 of airport development to 25mppa
	Comprehensive data collation exercise including assembly of both local and area wide traffic count and journey time information, and bus, coach and train loading data
	Assistance with planning/design of on-airport facilities, including employee and passenger parking facilities and enhancements to the terminal forecourt layout in each phase of development
