Describe the decision being made.
Agreeing the Council’s consultation response to the
consultation on Gatwick Airport’s draft Masterplan; the main
aspects of which are:
- That there is not enough detail within the masterplan to take a
view on the proposed routine use of the standby runway
- To support in principle for the continued safeguarding of the
land to provide future flexibility however that this should not be
interpreted as Council support for a new runway on that land
- That the airport operators should fully assess the potential
impacts of future growth on local infrastructure and to fully fund
any mitigation measures required.
