The Environmental Audit Committee have issued a call for evidence on 'Airport expansion and climate and nature targets'. The enquiry aims to establish the targets which Ministers ought to ensure are met under its policy to support airport expansion. This includes examining to what extent the provisions of the current Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS) (which specifies the mitigation of adverse impacts on health and quality of life from noise) are supported by current evidence and projections on aviation growth. The enquiry is accepting written evidence until April 24th.
