It sets out that there is a need to increase airport capacity in the South East of England by 2030 by constructing one new runway and that this need is best met by the Northwest runway scheme at Heathrow Airport.</p><p /><p>The Northwest runway scheme is to be fully funded and delivered by the private sector. It is for Heathrow to demonstrate that it can meet its environmental obligations, that the project can be financed and built and that the business case is realistic.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond Heathrow, the Government is supportive of airports across the UK making best use of their existing runways as long as they address the economic and environmental impacts and proposed mitigations. As part of the planning process for airport applications it is expected that the relevant planning body will scrutinise whether a scheme is in-line with government policy.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 20/01/2020 15:10:24 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

	uin	HL1762
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2020 answer text <p>The airspace issues surrounding National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) were considered in the Department’s airspace and noise project. The outcome of this work was reflected in the Air Navigation Guidance 2017, which the department issued to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in October 2017.</p><p> </p><p>The guidance requires the CAA to have regard to the statutory purposes of National Parks and AONB when considering proposals for airspace changes. When airspace changes are being considered, it is important that local circumstances, including community views on specific areas that should be avoided, are taken into account where possible. However, given the finite amount of airspace available, it will not always be possible to avoid overflying National Parks or AONB.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 09/03/2020 17:04:18 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
