Written Questions can be tabled by MPs and Lords to request specific information information on the work, policy and activities of a Government Department
1st Feb 2021
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to publish the risk assessment evaluating the impact of the HS2 Colne Valley viaduct, and in particular, its proximity to the main runway at Denham Aerodrome; and if not, why not.

An aeronautical study is currently being drafted by HS2 Ltd’s specialist aeronautical advisors, following consultation with Denham Aerodrome. The company does not publish risk assessments on its website, but once finalised, it will be shared with Denham Aerodrome and can be made available upon request.

17th May 2018
To ask Her Majesty's Government what consideration they have given to amending paragraph (z) of the table in Schedule 4 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (England) Order 2015 to include aerodromes used for sport and recreational activities.

The government has no current plans to amend paragraph (z) of Schedule 4 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure (England) Order 2015. Any interested party can make representations on a planning application; it is not restricted to statutory consultees. While aerodromes are not statutory consultees on planning applications, they can work proactively with local councils to identify developments where they might have an interest, and can comment on proposals within the normal public consultation period. The planning authority must take into account and weigh up all the material planning considerations in reaching its decision. Local planning authorities can consider whether there are planning policy reasons to engage other consultees who - whilst not designated in law - are likely to have an interest in a proposed development.
