The Commission has short-listed the following proposals to investigate ahead of its final report: a new runway at Gatwick Airport more than 3,000m in length; a new 3,500m runway at Heathrow Airport constructed to the north-west of the existing airport; and an extension of Heathrow’s existing northern runway to the west to at least 6,000m, enabling it to be used for both take-offs and landings. The Commission is to revisit Foster + Partner’s Isle of Grain proposal early next year to see whether it offered ‘a credible proposal for consideration alongside the other short-listed options .The Commission connfirms the need for one more new runway for the South East to be operational by 2030. Analysis by the Commission also indicates that there “is likely” to be a demand case for a second additional runway to be operational by 2050. A final report is due by summer 2015.

The research was based on searches of local authorities’ websites for planning applications for major retail developments; was limited to England (excluding Inner London); and covered applications for which the decisions were taken after the NPPF came into force in March 2012.

The EU sustainable development strategy, launched by the European Council in Gothenburg in 2001 and renewed in June 2006, aims for the continuous improvement of quality of life for current and future generations. The Eurostat monitoring report, published every two years, provides an objective, statistical picture of progress, based on the EU set of sustainable development indicators. Quantitative rules applied consistently across indicators, and visualised through weather symbols, provide a relative assessment of whether Europe is moving in the right direction, and with sufficient haste, given the objectives and targets defined in the strategy. The data presented cover the period from 1990 to 2012 (or the latest year available). The statistics covered illustrate the range of issues relevant for sustainable development, and should contribute to raising awareness of the opportunities and challenges lying ahead.
