He stated that in the New Year, we will bring forward a draft \u2018National policy statement\u2019, which includes the details of the proposed scheme.<\/p>
<\/p>
As required under legislation, this will be subject to a full and extensive public consultation, followed by a period of Parliamentary scrutiny.<\/p>
<\/p>
Only once members have voted on the final National Policy Statement and it has been designated will the airport be able to bring forward a detailed planning application.<\/p>"}

The Government has been clear that the promoter, Heathrow Airport Limited, will meet the costs of the surface access improvements necessary to allow expansion of the airport.<\/p>
<\/p>
Where a surface access scheme has a wider range of beneficiaries, and are not specific to the addition of a new runway, the Government will consider, along with other relevant stakeholders, the need for public funding on a case-by-case basis.<\/p>
<\/p>
For schemes such as the Western Rail Link and Southern Rail Access, such considerations would take place at an appropriate time in that project\u2019s development process.<\/p>"}

The economic benefits of a new runway at Heathrow have been assessed at a national level. It is estimated that a new runway will deliver up to £61 billion of benefits to passengers and the wider UK economy.<\/p>
<\/p>
The local jobs created at and around the airport have also been assessed, with Heathrow expansion expected to deliver up to 77,000 additional local jobs by 2030. While it is not possible to precisely quantify the impacts on regional jobs and GDP, expanding airport capacity in the South East will support economic growth in the UK\u2019s regions.<\/p>"}

A third runway at Heathrow is expected to become operational in 2026 subject to the Government\u2019s consultation on a draft National Policy Statement and the planning process. In its Strategic Fit: Forecasts report, the Airports Commission (AC) published its assessment of how much capacity at the expanded Heathrow could be used.<\/p>
<\/p>
Capacity is dependent on the level of future aviation demand. The AC therefore considered five alternate demand scenarios. Across these scenarios, Heathrow could reach full capacity by 2035, but in the lowest demand scenario, capacity may not be fully used until 2042.<\/p>

Additionally, the Airports Commission used innovative modelling to estimate how airport expansion could impact on the growth in UK annual gross domestic product (GDP). The £211 billion figure represents the Commission\u2019s estimate of the GDP impact in one of their five scenarios (\u201cglobal growth\u201d), which assumed higher global GDP growth than their central scenario.
