Our views on aviation

We will object to airport proposals that could harm wildlife, for example, through habitat loss and disturbance to birds. We will also object to any significant expansions of airports on climate change grounds, as we are very concerned that any growth in air travel would result in the failure of Government to meet its target to cut CO2 emissions by 80% by 2050. We will continue to do so until the Government can demonstrate that it is possible to expand aviation and still meet this target.

Aviation cases

Lydd airport

In a move that would see the remarkable wildlife of Dungeness slowly disappear, the owners of Lydd airport want to increase the number of passengers that fly from there from around 4,000 a year to 500,000.

Thames Estuary

Plans for an airport in the Thames Estuary are unsustainable and threaten a world-class coastal wetland.
