Airports are required to maintain a master plan document, to set out
detailed proposals for development to 2015 in some detail, together with
indicative land use plans from 2016 through to 2030.
Airport master plans are also required to incorporate a surface access
strategy that sets out short and long-term targets for decreasing the
proportion of journeys to the airport by car and increasing the proportion
by public transport, for both passengers and airport workers.
The Civil Aviation Act 2006 implements important Future of Air
Transport White Paper commitments, to sustainable aviation and
protection of passenger interests.
