<p>The Airports National Policy Statement is clear that any application for development
consent must include details of how the applicant will achieve a wide range of mitigations,
including public transport mode share targets.</p><p> </p><p>Mitigations included
in a Development Consent Order or recommended as a result of examination will become
requirements that are enforceable under the Planning Act 2008. The detail of these
requirements, including any penalties, will flow from the planning process, but could
include financial provision for remedial measures or operating restrictions. A breach
of any requirement without reasonable excuse would be a criminal offence, and there
are wide-ranging powers for the relevant planning authority to investigate and intervene
should there be any breach, including by injunctions.</p>
