Details

This research, conducted by Ipsos MORI and commissioned by the Department for Transport (DfT), explores the airport community’s views on the proposed community compensation fund at an expanded Heathrow airport. It considers what form compensation could take and provides evidence on what the public might expect for the fund.

The research could also influence the development of policy relating to other large infrastructure projects with associated compensation schemes. The Aviation 2050 consultation, for example, is seeking views on proposals to produce guidance on minimum standards for growth-related community funds at all major UK airports.

Background to the Community Compensation Fund

In the Airports National Policy Statement (NPS), the government outlined the need to ensure that those affected by airport expansion at Heathrow Airport would be properly compensated, if development consent were granted. This compensation package would include the provision of an ongoing community compensation fund.

Heathrow Airport Limited will be consulting on the fund in summer 2019.
