Gatwick to open northern runway consultation
Gatwick will open a statutory public consultation on 14 June 2022 for its plans to bring the airport’s existing Northern Runway into routine use alongside its Main Runway.
The consultation will focus on the airport’s updated highway design, which has changed in response to feedback received during the autumn 2021 consultation.
he consultation will run for just over six weeks, until 27 July 2022.
Full details of the revised plans for the roads around the airport will be published at the start of the consultation and will include new proposals to redesign the original plan for the North Terminal junction and add a new lane westbound over the Brighton main rail line.
It also plans a third lane to the A23.
When publishing the consultation, Gatwick will also provide an update on other aspects of its Northern Runway plan, following feedback from the initial public consultation last year.
It comes as the government published its 10-point plan for Aviation .
The airport’s proposal would see the airport’s Northern Runway brought into routine use, enabling dual runway operations.
The Northern Runway could be operational by summer 2029.
It says the project will be delivered in a sustainable way to meet its goal of zero airport emissions before 2040.
Stewart Wingate, CEO, Gatwick Airport said: “Following feedback, we have listened and taken the decision to amend several aspects of the plans, particularly our highways designs, so we are keen to get further feedback from local people and other stakeholders.”
