Here are the challenges Heathrow airport now faces
If a third runway is built, Heathrow must tackle illegal air pollution, excessive noise pollution and pay more corporation tax
The announcement about Heathrow airport’s third runway is merely that. Government announcements do not always come to fruition. A year-long public consultation will now take place, followed by a parliamentary vote in the winter of 2017/18. Planning permission must almost be sought.
Legal challenges are an absolute certainty, funded in part by Theresa May’s constituents living in Windsor and Maidenhead, as is a parliamentary byelection.
