Decision details

Paragraph 3 – Information relating to the financial or business affairs of any particular person (including the authority holding that information)

Cabinet considered a report on potential resourcing requirements for the Council as a result of the Heathrow expansion process. 

Alternative options considered and rejected:

·         Use existing resources

·         Do nothing

Resolved to:

1.    note and agree the level of resource required over the next six years in order to fully engage in the Heathrow expansion process; and

2.    secure an agreement from Heathrow Airport Limited that they will pay for all these costs.

Reasons for recommendation: The expansion of Heathrow will fundamentally change the borough. The Council needs to protect the quality of life of its residents and requires resources to do this.  The work is only required as a result of the expansion plans of Heathrow Airport Limited and costs should be met by them.
