| Any expansion beyond the current capacity (some 11 million passengers per annum - mppa) is unwarranted and unwelcome | | 38.3% | 182 |
| The improvements identified and some expansion within the existing boundary are warranted but 18mppa is too much (not least when compared with the 2010 volumes at Stansted and Manchester of 18.6mp and 17.8mp respectively) | | 31.4% | 149 |
| The proposed optimisation and expansion to 18mppa by 2020 within the existing boundary makes sense – but no more | | 9.5% | 45 |
| Given reasonable safeguards, I have no objection to the airport being allowed to expand to 30mppa over the long term | | 6.1% | 29 |
