answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2018 answer text <p>The Government believes that the Heathrow Northwest Runway scheme can be delivered without undermining the UK’s compliance with air quality limits, given the measures set out in the Government’s Air Quality Plan. The Government’s view has been informed by the air quality analysis of the Northwest Runway scheme, which was published in October 2017. It should be noted that this does not take into account scheme specific mitigations that any applicant could take forward to address its air quality impact.</p><p> </p><p>The proposed Airports National Policy Statement (NPS) requires the applicant to consider an extensive range of air quality mitigation measures, potentially including an emissions-based access charge. Development consent will only be granted if the Secretary of State is satisfied that, with mitigations, the scheme would be compliant with legal obligations on air quality.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/06/2018 12:42:39 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
