Comments invited on third runway
A public consultation into the planned third runway at Heathrow Airport has been re-opened due to new evidence. The Department for Transport (DFT) published a series of fresh reports into the impact of expanding the west London hub, including updated noise analysis and a new air quality plan.
Consultation on the draft Airports National Policy Statement has been re-opened until 19 December. The DFT said it was “on track” to publish final proposals for expansion early next year.
