CC4: Non-Car Access to Heathrow and Airtrack

The Council will encourage measures to improve the accessibility of Heathrow Airport from the Borough by non car-based modes, where improvements can be achieved in an environmentally acceptable manner.

The Council will work with those involved in promoting the Airtrack scheme to ensure that potential alternatives are fully evaluated, and that the environmental impacts, particularly on Staines Moor and Staines town centre and those living near the track, are fully assessed and effective mitigation is proposed to minimize and compensate for adverse impacts. It will consider the extent to which detailed proposals overcome environmental impacts in deciding whether to support any proposal to construct the scheme that may be brought forward in the future.

The route of Airtrack through Spelthorne will be safeguarded.
