CPRE strongly objects to the proposals for airspace changes in the Terminal Control North region. These changes affect the Chilterns and Luton area, Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, and parts of Essex and Hertfordshire, and threaten previously tranquil rural areas.

The Future of Aviation

Memorandum of Evidence by the Campaign to Protect Rural England to the Transport Select Committee Inquiry

CPRE's evidence argues that aviation can be detrimental to England's tourism industry, causing a net job loss and particularly affecting the economy of rural areas. The submission calls for an independent review of Air Travel White Paper to achieve higher carbon reduction targets and take full account of social impacts on those dependent on domestic tourism, and the effect of noise pollution on health and tranquillity. Fairer taxation of aviation must tax planes not people, while funding investment in longer distance high speed services and sleeper trains.

The Use of Airspace

CPRE evidence to the Transport Select Committee

The Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE) believes that the present laissez-faire approach to the use of airspace is unsustainable.  Action is required urgently to deal with the flaws in the present arrangements, which have developed in an uncoordinated manner and are based on outdated evidence.
