A third runway at Heathrow In October 2017 the Government, under the Planning Act 2008, published for consultation a revised Draft Airports National Policy Statement: new runway capacity and infrastructure at airports in the South East of England (Airports NPS). This revised certain parts of the Draft Airports NPS first published for public consultation in February 2017. The ANPS was formally designated on 26 June 2018. 2 runways (Northern – 3,902m x 50m; Southern – 3,658m x 50m) 76 million passengers a year (2016) 200 destinations served – more than 80 are long haul 84 countries connected to Heathrow 473,000 flight movements a year (2016) – an average of 1,300 a day 98% capacity – flight movements at Heathrow are capped at 480,000/year 1.5 million metric tonnes of cargo travel through the airport each year 30% (by value) of the UK’s exports beyond the EU and Switzerland travel through Heathrow each year

A Project of National Significance The new Heathrow runway would be the first new full length runway to be built in the south east of England since World War II – the last being at Heathrow It could accommodate 130 million passengers per year capacity and 740,000 flight movements capacity A northwest runway at Heathrow would cross the M25 south of junction 15 with the M4 The M25’s delivery is on the critical path for Heathrow expansion – the new runway could not be delivered without this work Why is this important? Interface with the M25 HE’s license obligations – current and future M25 is significant to the operation of Heathrow Key enabling works for a much larger development 3
