Gatwick Airport has announced an additional public consultation on its Northern Runway plans. 

The consultation will start on 14th June and will focus on the airport’s updated highway design; the revised plans for the roads around the airport will be published at the start of the consultation.  This will include proposals to redesign the original plan for the North Terminal junction, add a new lane westbound over the Brighton main rail line, and add a third lane to the A23 approaching Longbridge roundabout. 

The plans for the South Terminal remain largely unchanged. 

The airport’s proposal would see the Northern Runway brought into routine use for departing aircraft by repositioning its centre line further north by 12 metres, enabling dual runway operations with the Main Runway.
