Planned development between 2010 and 2015
As we set out in our Capital Investment Plan (CIP) 2009 over the course of the next 5 years we will be further developing our airport infrastructure. As part of the eastern campus programme we will be refurbishing Terminal 1 and commencing the new Terminal 2 family of facilities. Also within this time frame is the refurbishment of Terminals 3 and 4 which is referred to as the western campus programme. Various other works including upgrading taxiways and stands are also detailed in the CIP. The airport will continue to operate within the existing movement cap of 480,000 and other limit values already in place (detailed in Annex 6).
In addition on 23 February 2009 NATS announced that it is to conduct a new consultation on revised proposals for the Terminal Control North(TCN) Airspace region at some point in the future. However in October 2010 a further announcement from NATS stated that they had postponed plans for further changes to the TCN airspace. Instead, the proposals will be incorporated into a wider review of airspace over southern England. Following the decisions from the subsequent consultation we will informally review our noise action plan with the Heathrow Consultative Committee and if appropriate consult on any amendments publicly (action 5.4)
