Recommendation 7
7
Current airport planning approach lacks strategic UK-wide consideration and scrutiny.
Recommendation
The Government should be taking a more strategic approach that should consider wider growth and planning across the whole of the UK. Finally, we are very disappointed that this approach does not allow proper consideration and scrutiny of airport expansion proposals in the light of the new ANPS. (Conclusion, Paragraph 35)
