Details

This Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) considered the potential equality implications of a Northwest Runway scheme at Heathrow Airport, including the effect on people or groups of people who share certain characteristics protected by the Equality Act 2010.

The draft Heathrow Expansion National Policy Statement (HENPS) EqIA builds on the 2018 EqIA for the Airports National Policy Statement (ANPS).

The Department for Transport (DfT) commissioned AECOM to prepare the EqIA.
