Item 4: Transport Strategy (Vision and Objectives) www.englandseconomicheartland.com
Context The region is already economically successful and a liveable place. However, the success has led to pressure on infrastructure, which has not always been supported and the ambitions matched by investment in physical and digital connectivity. The development of the Transport Strategy needs to involve stakeholders across EEH, as well strategic stakeholders in adjoining regions and nationally. The proposal is to seek their involvement through the publication of discussion papers, on which comments are invited. Subject to the views of the Forum the proposal is to publish the first discussion paper, which sets out the vision and objectives, in early April and invite comments by mid-may, enabling the Forum to consider the responses at its meeting in June. www.englandseconomicheartland.com
A draft vision statement (work in progress) A THRIVING REGION WHERE PRODUCTIVE PEOPLE, INTEGRATED AND SUSTAINABLE PLACES, AND WORLD CLASS KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION ARE PHYSICALLY AND DIGITALLY CONNECTED TO FACILITATE ECONOMIC GROWTH. www.englandseconomicheartland.com
Some themes to develop the draft objectives The following themes form the starting point for a discussion on objectives: Develop an accessible, high quality, connected and integrated transport network that supports economic growth and sustainable development Increase the capacity, reliability, resilience, safety and agility (level of service) of the transport system to cope with change. Enable development while supporting the natural environment and quality of life for all network users. Promote sustainable modes of travel to improve accessibility and enhance the built environment. The objectives created from the discussion have been grouped into the following areas: economy, environment, user. www.englandseconomicheartland.com
Draft objectives (work in progress) Economy: Unlock housing and job growth through phased investment in infrastructure and innovation, smarter use of existing assets, and intelligent location of development. Stimulate innovative and creative business via strategic, long term policy making. Improve safety, reliability, and resilience of the network to maximise productivity of goods, services, and commuters. Improve transport networks within and through the region to increase access to jobs, skills, markets, and international gateways. www.englandseconomicheartland.com
Draft objectives (work in progress) Environment: A zero carbon transport system in the region. Integrated land use - transport planning which locates development where sustainable modes are viable. Protect and enhance the built and natural environment. Seek innovation at all stages of an infrastructure assets lifecycle. User: Improve access to jobs, education, and services. Simplify multi-modal travel by creating more seamless journeys and improving the information available to travellers. Reduce the severance between rural and urban areas. A transport system that is safe and reliable for use by all. www.englandseconomicheartland.com

modernising uk Airspace and Heathrow s airspace principles consultation
Airspace Modernisation across the uk There is a need to modernise the UK s airspace to meet the challenges of the 21st century and beyond. The UK s existing airspace was designed in the 1960s and is currently operating near its full capacity The existing airspace infrastructure is currently being redesigned to ensure it makes the most of modern navigation technology Airspace needs to be safe, efficient, accommodate passenger demand and the needs of multiple users, while simultaneously recognising the impact of aviation on local communities and the environment.
Airspace change consultation process The Airspace Change Process consists of three stages of consultation Design principles This stage will identify a set of principles to help shape and Stage underpin the design and structure of Heathrow s future One airspace. Stage Two Design envelopes This stage will seek to understand what local factors (within the defined envelopes) should be taken into consideration when designing where the future flight routes should go. Stage Three Flight path options This stage will present flight path options
EXAMPLE: AIRSPACE DESIGN PRINCIPLE 1: FLIGHTPATHS A B C Should we aim to minimise the total number of people overflown or Should we aim to minimise the total number of people newly overflown or Should we aim to share routes over a wider area
Post consultation Consultation responses will be fed into our master planning Collate and review all feedback Identify the key themes and issues raised Set out how we will respond to feedback Prepare a report of consultation for publication at consultation two
