It doesn't bode well for the claims for the process for Environmentally Managed Growth that Heathrow are talking about.
"•
We propose publishing an annual monitoring report to demonstrate compliance, and, looking
forward, a plan for how further growth would be managed to remain within limits.
•
We propose that an Independent Scrutiny Panel is set up to validate the monitoring, and could
require more reporting and closer scrutiny if limits were being approached.
•
The Independent Scrutiny Panel would have real power to enforce the limits, require remedial
action etc., even if that included suspending growth."
