Decision details

The report gave details of a consultation by the National Air Traffic Service and Gatwick Airport on the management of airspace associated with flights from Gatwick and London City Airports.  It was noted that the introduction of new technology (Performance Based Navigation) would enable a different approach to organising aircraft from further afield and remove the need for conventional stacking.  Consideration was given to a suggested response to the two questions raised in the consultation which were relevant to the Borough.

Following consideration by the Planning and Transportation Advisory Board, the Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation  resolved that:

The Director of Planning, Housing and Environmental Health, in consultation with the Cabinet Member for Planning and Transportation, be authorised to respond to the specific consultation questions and comment generally on the proposals as outlined in the report.
