The public consultation, which closed in December, revealed the fears of local residents in terms of the environment or nuisances. Management is committed to taking action.
Lille-Lesquin airport will have to review its copy. The airport terminal and terminal extension project, intended to absorb a larger number of travelers, will have to be reassessed, particularly in terms of the environment and nuisances.
This is what emerges from the public consultation, which closed in December. This allowed to collect 458 contributions.
Faced with the fear of greater noise pollution, expressed by residents, the airport promises not to increase the number of night flights, at least until 2039.
From an environmental standpoint, another worrying factor, management particularly wants to provide planes with cleaner fuel. “These are natural oils, which are generally recycled, reprocessed, purified and which are gradually incorporated into the engines”, explained to our microphone Christophe Coulon, president of the mixed union of the airports of Lille and Merville.
Reduce CO2 emissions
“We readjusted the shot also in terms of artificialization of the soil, continued the person concerned. We believe that the additional parking capacity can be made without having to artificialize land which is now dedicated to agriculture.”
This strategy, he summarizes, must make it possible to have a “positive contribution to the lowest possible CO2 emissions”.
The filing of the building permit and the environmental study are scheduled for June or July, while the public inquiry to obtain the building permit is due to start in December. If the green light is given, work will begin in 2023.
