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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>Airports are responsible for the specific arrangements for low-level flightpaths and proposals to alter these arrangements must be approved by the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) Airspace Change Process. The Department fopr Transport has oversight of this process, and published revised air navigation guidance in 2017 underpinning the process, to ensure that a full assessment of the health effects of proposals to change flight paths is carried out.</p><p> </p><p>This guidance requires airports who are seeking to make alterations to their flightpath arrangements to assess the impacts of different design options from an environmental perspective addressing issues such as aircraft noise and emissions. There is also a requirement for airports to consult with those communities who may be affected by the proposed changes to airspace and to take their views into account when finalising their proposals. This will then be taken into consideration by the CAA when making its final regulatory decision on the proposal.</p><p> </p><p>Heathrow Airport Limited is responsible for taking forward the airspace arrangements it needs and is currently at the start of the second stage of the process, which is ‘Option Development’.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/03/2019 14:27:26 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2019 answer text <p>Heathrow’s proposed ‘early lifting of the air traffic movement (ATM) cap’ is not Government policy. Any such proposal would require planning permission and would need to form part of an applicant’s development consent application. As part of that process, the Examining Authority would need to be satisfied that all impacts were assessed fully, including a comprehensive environmental assessment, and that any required mitigations were sufficient; and it would be required to determine the appropriate enforcement regime to enact the mitigations.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 22/02/2019 12:36:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
