Consultation Responses
HACAN ClearSkies represents many thousands of residents who live under the Heathrow flightpaths. So when governments offer us the chance to put the case for cleaner, safer, quieter living conditions, we always do. Here you can browse some of our responses to government and other consultations, beginning with our submissions to the Terminal 5 public enquiry in 1995. You can search for keywords if you are looking for specific information. You will need Acrobat Reader to be able to read these documents.
CAA consultation on airspace
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is consulting on airspace policy. It is looking at some quite radical changes such as moving or doing away with holding stacks. It could provide an opportunity to improve the noise climate for people under the flight paths some distance from Heathrow.
See the consultation.
