Details
The draft Airports National Policy Statement sets out:
the need for additional airport capacity in the south-east of England
why government believes that need is best met by a north-west runway at Heathrow Airport
the specific requirements that the applicant for a new north-west runway will need to meet to gain development consent
The draft Airports National Policy Statement is subject to public consultation and Parliamentary scrutiny.
The government will consider all responses to the consultation. Following the consultation and Parliamentary scrutiny, if the Secretary of State decides to proceed, he will lay a final Airports National Policy Statement before Parliament. If this is successful, he will then designate the final Airports National Policy Statement.
