A Government planning inspector has given developers the go-ahead to build a large car park at Leeds-Bradford Airport after a planning appeal.
The Learmonth Property Investment Company has been granted planning permission for a 643-space 24-hour car park at the airport in Yeadon.
A spokesman for CB Richard Ellis, the planning consultants which acted on behalf of the firm in the three-day planning appeal hearing, said the move would create jobs at the airport.
However, an operator is still needed to run parking services at the car park.
Jay Everett, director of planning at CB Richard Ellis, said: “This is an excellent result for all parties and will undoubtedly enhance the offering at Leeds-Bradford International Airport as well as creating and safeguarding jobs.”
Planning permission will bring back into use a large business unit at the Leeds-Bradford Airport Industrial Estate, which has been standing empty for more than two and a half years.
