If the application is approved by Uttlesford District Council, the airport will be able to increase its annual passenger limit to 51 million over the next 20 years.
The application seeks permission to make best use of Stansted’s existing single runway by the 2040s without any increase in the number of flights already permitted and within the existing airport boundary.
London Stansted said these plans will enable it to progress with its plans to invest in the future, which could unlock 4,500 new jobs, improvements to M11 Junction 8 to reduce congestion, and provide funds for bus services, roads, and tackling fly-parking.
If the plans are approved, they will also see improvements to Stansted Express, airport infrastructure powered by 100 per cent renewable energy, and Stansted Airport College doubling in size to train more young people from the area.
Over the last few months, the airport has been consulting with people and businesses in the area, as well as passengers, with a widespread social media campaign and hundreds of one-to-one conversations.
More than 2,800 people across the area responded to the consultation, with almost 2,000 people backing Stansted’s plan.
Gareth Powell, London Stansted’s managing director, said: "We’ve listened carefully to all the feedback from our neighbours, which has helped shape our plans to grow London Stansted in the most sustainable and responsible way possible.
"We have already kicked off our five-year £1.2bn investment programme to transform the airport, and if this application is approved, we will be able to unlock even more local opportunities and improvements over the next 20 years.

"Making the best use of our existing runway will help create more jobs and training schemes, better facilities for passengers and provide more seats to an even greater choice of destinations.
"We have an exciting and ambitious vision for London Stansted and how we best serve our region, so I’m asking for local people to lend their support so we can make this plan a reality."
Uttlesford District Council will now consider the application.
