Proposal of a New London aerodrome in the Thames Estuary

Proposal of a New London aerodrome in the Thames Estuary

 

Introduction

Environment bureau has anxieties over the proposed expansion of UK aerodromes, set out in the Air Transport White Paper 2003, because of its assistance to climate change and because of the potential for foremost environmental influences. Indeed there are few grave commentators who accept as true current plan for the third runway at Thames will be delivered. If we were beginning from rub no one would seriously suggest pin pointing the major worldwide aerodrome at Thames, in midst of the densely populated and very strongly congested locality of west London. As the series of official reports and public enquiries have emphasized over past 30 years or more, there will always be problems and conflicts with environmental objectives quite simply because of Thames's location.

Problem Statement

What is being suggested at Heathrow is convoluted and far-reaching e.g. it includes changes in both the utilisation and number of runways, and expands to 2030. The technical material presented for consultation is rather tough to pursue, not just because of the complexity of the proposal, but also because it is in a series of accounts from which data has to be pieced

together.

After full concern of the articles our deduction is that overall, we do not think that the clues offered is adequately robust to conclude that the proposed Heathrow development will not infringe the NO2 Directive, bearing in brain the uncertainties that need to be addressed. This is because the evaluation of air quality pays insufficient attention to these uncertainties and to the range of likely future scenarios for issues like street traffic, meteorological variability, climate change, background air value and atmospheric chemistry.

Literature Review

Economical, communal and ecological Factors

We have furthermore arrived to see significance of regenerating Thames Gateway locality extending east from London Docklands out to sea. The transformation in Canary Wharf is both the suggestion of potential for financial development to east of London and the powerful contention for an airport that would help drive regeneration farther down river. Not only would an airport boost ambitious - but tantalizingly slow - Thames Gateway regeneration scheme, it would also facilitate fast links to Europe by both air and rail.

1- Key environment data essential for evaluation of this proposal

This is not just because of environmental opponents to an expansion of aerodrome capacity in south east England. Indeed there are many persons who accept that some expansion is essential for economic reasons, but who solidly accept as true that Thames is not right location for our nationwide hub aerodrome.

Meeting Bird Strike Hazard standards

Aerodrome safeguarding ensures the safety of aircraft and their occupants when iii the vicinity of an aerodrome by controlling potentially hazardous development and activity around it. An overview of the Safeguarding process is given in the first Advice Note in this series. The aim of this Advice Note is to briefly review the various broad types of Sustainable Urban Drainage Schemes (SUDS) techniques and to ...
