answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The Appraisal of Sustainability that accompanies the Airports National Policy Statement provides a strategic level assessment of the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts of expansion, including on noise, based on indicative flight paths.</p><p>While taking forward an application for development consent of the Northwest runway scheme, Heathrow Airport Limited has also started to engage with the airspace change process necessary to accommodate the additional flights that expansion would enable. In the UK this process is governed by the Civil Aviation Authority, which must approve all changes to the UK’s airspace, including new flight paths. This is a seven-stage process, often taking a number of years between an airport alerting the Civil Aviation Authority to a proposed change, and the Civil Aviation Authority making a decision on whether that change should be implemented.</p><p>Heathrow Airport Limited are currently at the second stage of the Civil Aviation Authority’s Airspace Change Process. At this early stage it is not possible to identify the expected noise impacts on specific communities. These will depend on the final chosen airspace design. The second part of the process is known as ‘Option Development’, and requires the airport to develop a range of options for the proposed new airspace design. These will then be published, along with a detailed assessment, for public consultation.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/04/2019 11:15:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, for what reason his Department prevented Heathrow Airport from (a) informing and (b) consulting with all communities who may be affected by airspace changes in accordance with the Planning Act 2008.

uin	240007
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The Department cannot prevent Heathrow Airport from a) informing or b) consulting with communities who may be affected by airspace change. Heathrow, as the airspace change sponsor, is responsible for conducting their own consultations on airspace change. Heathrow Airport Limited has already undertaken two stages of public consultation at the scale and size that they deemed appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>As the Department understands, for their consultation on airspace design principles in early 2018, Heathrow Airport Limited advertised to over 12 million people, making it one of the largest private sector led consultations with the public in the UK’s history.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, Heathrow Airport Limited has now concluded a consultation on its airspace design envelopes. These are the wide geographic areas in which flight paths would be positioned in future. The exact flight paths, which will be much narrower and run through these envelopes, will not be determined until later in the airspace change process. It would be as part of Heathrow Airport Limited’s third consultation on airspace that specific proposed routes would be presented.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/04/2019 11:22:46 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
