Response to Heathrow Expansion Consultation

Heathrow northwest runway proposal 2025

Published On: 29th August 2026

The London Forum has submitted a highly critical response to the Government’s consultation on Heathrow expansion policy – link below.

The economic appraisal which forms part of the consultation shows that the relevant costs taken together, including environmental costs, greatly exceed the expected benefits. We cover many other issues in our response; but for that reason alone, we cannot support the draft policy statement.

You only have until 1st September to respond – our previous article has some useful guidance.
