History: Overview
Stansted Airport has expanded steadily over the last 30 years. As guardians of the character of the district, Uttlesford District Council has been consistently robust in their approach to the numerous planning applications they have considered over the years.
Milestones
1942 Stansted airport started life as a USAAF bomber base during World War two.
1960’s During the package holiday explosion, Stansted grew to become known as London's third major airport.
The airport's future became uncertain shortly after this, as the huge number of complaints and protestations about the possible development of the airport led to plans for its growth being scrapped by the government.
This all changed when a world oil crisis occurred and other airport options became too expensive. The increasing demand amongst the holidaymaking British public led to a turnaround in government policy and the development was given the go-ahead.
1969: The growth in demand led to Stansted being bought out by the British Airports Authority (BAA), who developed the terminal.
1972 BAA extended Stansted further.
1984 Stansted airport gained approval for expansion to accommodate a larger number of passengers.
1986 Work began on the main terminal that stands today.
1991 The new terminal was opened, and Stansted won awards for the building. Stansted is now known as the UK's forth major airport, and the British home of the budget airline.
2003 The Government published The Future of Air Transport White Paper, which recommended a second runway at Stansted.
BAA applied to Uttlesford District Council (UDC) for permission to expand the airport. UDC granted permission on the condition that passenger numbers are restricted to 25 million a year.
In December 2003 the Government announced the decision to locate a second runway at Stansted. BAA was tasked to bring forward plans for the development.
2004 Uttlesford District Council joins forces with Essex and Hertfordshire County Councils and East and North Hertfordshire District Councils to mount a legal challenge to the Government’s Airport White Paper.
2005 On December 9 BAA launched a three-month consultation on the options it short-listed for the location of the second runway at Stansted Airport – a project called Generation 2.
2006 April: BAA submitted a planning application (Generation 1) seeking an increase on the limits imposed three years ago by the council. It wants to have the current 25m passenger and 241,000 flights per year restrictions raised to 35m passengers and 264,000 flights.
Summer: BAA will announce the outcome of the consultation on their second runway proposal (Generation 2).
September 27: UDC decision on BAA planning application due.
The Future
2007 End 2006/Early 2007: BAA will begin consultation on their draft Final Airport master plan that will outline the development of Stansted as a two-runway airport.
Summer 2007: BAA is expected to submit a full planning application for a second runway at Stansted.
Uttlesford District Council remains adamant in their opposition to more runways at Stansted .

when was the Russian Revolution? The conventional answer would be October 1917. After all, people associate Lenin with the October Revolution, don't they? Well, Mr. Pipes (amongst an increasing group of others) would stop you right there. Upon the tsar's abdication Russia's first free elections (promised since that February) were held November 12, 1917. This was but days after Lenin's Bolsheviks supposedly "rode to power on a wave of popular support," yet Lenin's ilk only received enought votes to garner 175 seats out of 707! The Bolshevik takeover was more akin to a putsch, consequently. Trotsky himself wrote (in his memoirs) "that 25,000 or 30,000 people, at most, took part in the events of October in Petrograd"; this in a city of 2 million. It was largely bloodless and basically upended the hopelessly incompetent Provisional Government in the dead of one night in favor of the Petersburg Council---or "Soviet," to utilize the Russian word for council. And it was through this organ of competing power that Lenin was able to forestall Russian military units from marching in to St. Petersburg to resist him. In January when Russia's first Constituent Assemby opened Lenin immediately proposed a motion that would have prevented the duly elected Assembly from wielding any real power over the Petersburg Soviet, or any of the other Soviets in other cities. Lenin's Bolsheviks were handedly defeated in this, however; which marked the end of democracy in Russia. The next day Bolshevik Red Guards closed down the Assembly and it was never permitted to sit again. How Lenin was able to engineer this is the subject of the second part
