PPG13 Updated
The DETR has just published the latest incarnation of Planning Policy Guideline 13. PPG's represent central government policy and are designed to guide local authorities in the formulation of local planning policy.

PPG13 represents policy on transport and as such includes issues relating to aviation, including General Aviation. Some of the key changes which affect GA include:-

The need for local planning authorities to consider the role of small aerodromes in serving not only business and recreational GA, but now also training and emergency services needs.
Local planning authorities to consult with DETR's Airports Policy Division to identify and where appropriate protect sites and surface access routes, both existing and potential (including disused sites), which could help to enhance aviation infrastructure, and also to...
Avoid development at or close to an aerodrome which is incompatible with any existing or potential aviation operations.

These changes increase hopes that consideration given to aerodromes by local authorities as they develop planning policy will be bolstered. Greater store can be set by the full range of benefits aerodromes bring and such sites can be preserved and protected from developments which so often result in pressure being brought to bear on them.
