Airports: National Policy Statements

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if she will hold community events as part of the ANPS consultation.

Answer

The department is currently considering the appropriate publicity arrangements for the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) review consultation in accordance with section 7 of the Planning Act 2008. The Government intends to publicise the consultation through accessible online channels, including GOV.UK and social media, and will work with local authorities and stakeholder groups to ensure that those who may be affected by Heathrow expansion are aware of the opportunity to participate.

The consultation arrangements will be proportionate, reflecting that this is a review of an existing policy and that the Government has stated its continued support for Heathrow expansion.
