The airport has decided to begin preparation of a planning application after the government made an announcement in October this year that a new runway is the preferred option for the expansion of Heathrow.

With an aim to inform its planning application, the airport will carry out extensive engagement and consultation with local communities and other stakeholders on a wide range of aspects included in the scheme, such as environmental impacts and project design.

Commencing early next year, the first step of the planning application will include wildlife and other environmental surveys in the local area.
