A unique project that will boost the skills and economy of Essex has taken a major step forward after London Stansted Airport and Harlow College received planning permission from Uttlesford District Council for a new £11 million technical skills college at the airport.

Partners in the new Stansted Airport College project met recently at the proposed site for an Inception Workshop session. All aspects of the logistics and planning of the new facility were discussed.

London Stansted Airport and Harlow College have submitted a planning application to build a new technical skills college at the airport – the first of its kind at any airport in the country.
