question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Statement by Baroness Sugg on 22 November 2018 (HLWS1070), why cycling and walking are not included as crucial parts of rural planning.

uin	HL14139
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s National Planning Policy Framework, published in February 2019, contains guidance for planning authorities on matters including promoting cycling and walking. The guidance applies equally to rural and urban areas. It states that planning policies should provide for high quality walking and cycling networks, drawing on Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIPs). The Department for Transport is currently supporting 46 local authorities to develop their LCWIPs. These include both urban and rural local authorities.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/03/2019 14:40:59 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have had any discussions with Heathrow Airport about the amount they charge customers for use of their electric vehicle charging points; and what assessment they have made of the application of the Automated and Electric Vehicles Act 2018 to the airport to limit such costs and to ensure that their charging points are maintained in a usable condition.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL14149
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>We have regular conversations with Heathrow about how it can improve the sustainability of the airport, including its support for electric vehicles, but have not discussed its chargepoint pricing model.</p><p> </p><p>Pricing is a matter for chargepoint network operators, but we are clear that we do not want to see prohibitive pricing of public chargepoints become a barrier to the uptake of electric vehicles. We want to see a self-sustaining electric vehicle chargepoint network that is affordable, reliable and accessible and will continue to monitor this as the market develops.</p><p> </p><p>The Automated and Electric Vehicles Act provides the Government with powers to require the installation of chargepoints at large fuel retailers and motorway services areas, if needed, and to set chargepoint maintenance and reliability standards. We will consider intervening using these powers if the market fails to deliver improvements.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/03/2019 13:09:46 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have undertaken an impact assessment of the the effect of new flight path design envelopes for Heathrow airport on (1) air quality, (2) decibel levels, and (3) house prices in (a) Chiswick, (b) Hammersmith, (c) Acton, and (d) Ealing.

uin	HL14038
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
