Andy McDonald MP/Jesse Norman MP

Jesse Norman MP: Heathrow’s proposed ‘early lifting of the air traffic movement (ATM) cap’ is not Government policy. Any such proposal would require planning permission and would need to form part of an applicant’s development consent application. As part of that process, the Examining Authority would need to be satisfied that all impacts were assessed fully, including a comprehensive environmental assessment, and that any required mitigations were sufficient; and it would be required to determine the appropriate enforcement regime to enact the mitigations.
