www.Parctel.com: STANSTED Airport's state of the art visitors' centre has been given the green light by Uttlesford District Council.
The new building would include a lecture theatre, parking for 20 vehicles and a coach bay for school parties and organised trips and allow people an exciting insight into the world of airport operations for up to 40 visitors at a time.
BAA's community manager, Valda Edmunds, said: "It's fantastic news the visitors' centre has been granted planning permission and we thank the council for giving it the thumbs up.
"Stansted Airport is an integral part of the community and the centre will be an important place for local people and aviation enthusiasts to meet."
The new centre will be on the north side of the airfield, close to the long-stay car park. A new road will be put in to provide access to the centre and will connect with a bus service to the main airport.
Mrs Edmunds added: "Not only will it offer stunning views across the airfield, but it will act as an education resource for displays and activities for visiting school trips and community groups.
