Runways UK – Dr Jock Lowe

1.Is extra capacity needed? Commission Report – Yes 2.Where should that capacity be? Commission Report – Emphatic Recommendation; Heathrow Three Big Questions 2

Great research Wide consultation Comprehensive report Not truly iterative But…. Commission Process 3

1.Emissions 2.Noise Two Significant Issues 4

National Issue – We have to solve it Probably by using less diesel vehicles Local Issue – Mitigation using Road Planning etc. Emissions A Big Little Problem 5

Reduction by alternating flightpaths not runways - otherwise, why not build 4 runways but use the capacity of 3 Limit overall capacity until noise targets met Noise Must Get Better 6

The new way

Northwest and Extended Runway Options have the same max capacity Contradiction by valuing 40,000 slots but then ruling out 4 th Runway Limit set by Government, could be 650,000 to 750,000 £3bn - £5bn lower costs First But… Capacity & Cost 8

Why can’t Extended Runway Option function with present regulations? Second But… Regulation 9

Easier Air Space Management Second Taxiway could be Standby Runway More land is available if necessary for taxiways, stands and parking Peripheral developments outside the boundary Third But… Resilience 10

Extended Runway construction easily phased - Release capacity when targets met No villages destroyed No waste plant to relocate Fourth But… Construction 11

Heathrow Hub concept is not a Third Runway Question 3 Deliverability 12
