This seminar provided a timely opportunity to discuss the next steps for airport expansion in the South East.
Following the announcement of further delays to a Government decision on airport expansion and with its endorsement of the Davies Commission report in December 2015, this conference examined the prospects for infrastructure development at Heathrow and Gatwick airports. After concerns raised in the recent Environmental Audit inquiry into airport expansion, sessions looked at the latest thinking on air quality and challenges for mitigating carbon emissions.
Further areas for discussion included integrating infrastructure development with the wider transport network, and with the needs of the growing Capital following the election of a new London mayor, and the conclusion of the Transport Committee inquiry into airport interconnection. The agenda also included discussion on practicalities for planning and operating new capacity, priorities for nearby communities, and the impact on UK competitiveness internationally.
