York Aviation also has wide experience in the field of general aviation (GA), having been commissioned in 2014 by the Department for Transport (DfT) to undertake a study into the economic value of GA in the UK. The study informed the Government's vision for the UK GA sector, which was set out in its General Aviation Strategy published in March 2015. York Aviation has also undertaken studies at several GA airfields around the UK including Gloucestershire Airport, the UK’s busiest GA airfield, and Farnborough Airport, one of the UK’s premier business aviation airports. We have also undertaken work at many other GA airfields in the UK including Elvington, Redhill, Dunsfold, Lee-on-Solent, Bagby, Panshanger, and Peterborough. 1.3 This report supplements and expands on a previous report prepared by Kember Loudon Williams (KLW) for Quinn Estates dated July 2018, which also dealt with aviation-related matters associated with the planning application. We acknowledge the work undertaken by KLW, and it should be noted that our report supplements that previous work rather than superseding it. 1.4 This report does not address any technical noise issues, which is outside our area of expertise, although the KLW report refers to previous work undertaken by the noise consultant for the applicants. Objectives & Structure of this Report 1.5 This report sets the context for the current policy and planning position in relation to GA airfields in the UK and the position of North Weald Airfield within that context. It also considers the role of the Airfield as it is today and how the proposed development might affect its current and future operations. 1.6 We have organised this report into the following sections: Section 2 : Aviation Policy and Planning Context; Section 3 : North Weald Airfield Today; Section 4 : Issues for consideration in planning related matters affecting a General Aviation Airfield; Section 5 : The Impact of the Proposed Development; Section 6 : Conclusions. NORTH WEALD AIRFIELD 2 AVIATION POLICY AND PLANNING CONTEXT National Policy 2.1 The revised National Planning Policy Framework was published on 24 July 2018 and sets out the government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. This document replaces the previous National Planning Policy Framework published in March 2012. Paragraph 104f of the revised Framework states that planning policies should: “recognise the importance of maintaining a national network of general aviation airfields, and their need to adapt and change over time – taking into account their economic value in serving business, leisure, training and emergency service needs, and the Government’s General Aviation Strategy.” 2.2 The Government published its General Aviation Strategy in March 2015, the first time such a specific government strategy relating to the GA sector had been published. The Strategy notes that the Government has issued planning guidance about aerodromes to planning authorities, with reference to the National Planning Policy Framework, so that the network of these sites is considered within Local Plans and taken into account in future planning decisions. This planning guidance states that: “Aviation makes a significant contribution to economic growth across the country, including in relation to small and medium sized airports and airfields (aerodromes). An aerodrome will form part of a larger network. Local planning authorities should have regard to the extent to which an aerodrome contributes to connectivity outside the authority’s own boundaries, working together with other authorities and Local Enterprise Partnerships as required by the National Planning Policy Framework.” 1 2.3 The Strategy also notes that the GA sector has itself produced more detailed guidance for planning authorities and aerodrome owners and operators and this was published by the General Aviation Awareness Council (GAAC) in April 2015 2. This document notes the importance of local planning authorities considering the economic impact of GA aerodromes as well as the extent to which an aerodrome contributes to connectivity outside its own boundaries. 2.4 The GA Strategy was accompanied by the publication of detailed economic research into the value of GA in the UK, undertaken by York Aviation. As part of this research, York Aviation identified a framework of issues for consideration in the context of local aerodrome development or proposed changes of use 3. We refer more specifically to this framework in Section 4 of this report. 2.5 The DfT has commissioned further research into the definition of a strategic network of general aviation aerodromes in the UK. This study is expected shortly but has not yet been published at the time of writing. 1 Planning Practice Guidance Paragraph: 012 Reference ID: 54-012-20150313 (last revised 13 March 2015). 2 Available on the GAAC Website at http://www.gaac.org.uk/ 3 The Economic Value of General Aviation in the UK, York Aviation, February 2015, Table 7.2 2.6 In April 2018 the Government published ‘Beyond the Horizon: The Future of UK Aviation - Next Steps Towards an Aviation Strategy’ and further consultation will follow later in 2018, leading to the publication of a new Aviation Strategy in 2019. The GA sector is recognised in this document as an important component of the wider UK aviation sector and the Government states that it remains committed to supporting and encouraging a dynamic GA sector. 4 Local Policy 2.7 Epping Forest’s original Local Plan was adopted in 1998. Policy RST27 of that plan set out the Council’s intention to: “continue to promote and enable the use and development of North Weald Airfield…as a major multi-functional recreation and leisure centre and showground; and promote and enable the use of the western part of the airfield…as a working airfield.” 2.8 The Local Plan is currently being updated and has not yet been submitted for examination. However, the latest version of the draft Local Plan recognises the studies that the Council has commissioned to consider the future of the Airfield (to which we refer in the next section of this report) and also indicates general policy support for the Airfield in its Vision statement for North Weald Bassett: “Aviation related uses, complemented by a mix of employment and leisure uses will be sought to boost the commercial offer and sustainability of the Airfield.” 5 2.9 It should be noted that the draft Plan allocates an additional 10 hectares of land within the existing employment site (NWB.E4) on the eastern side of the Airfield for further B1/B2/B8 class use (business use/general industrial/storage and warehousing). Conclusion 2.10 It is clear from the above that there is considerable Government policy support for the general aviation sector in the UK. This is expressed through the National Planning Policy Framework, the Government’s General Aviation Strategy, and the consultation on a new national Aviation Strategy. There is also local policy support for the continued, sustainable use of the Airfield at a local level. 2.11 In the light of this policy support, it is important that any impact that the proposed development might have on the Airfield is evaluated. 4 Next Steps Towards an Aviation Strategy, April 2018, paragraph 3.11 5 Epping Forest District Local Plan, Submission Version 2017, paragraph 5.87 NORTH WEALD AIRFIELD 3 NORTH WEALD AIRFIELD TODAY Location and Activity 3.1 North Weald Airfield has a long history of operational service, having been established during the First World War and having provided a key fighter base during the Battle of Britain. There is an aviation museum on site, staffed by volunteers, which details the history of the airfield. There are several historic artefacts within the airfield boundary, including the control tower which has been listed at Grade 2 by English Heritage. North Weald Airfield has been owned and operated by Epping Forest District Council since 1979. 3.2 The Airport is situated

    North Weald Airfield – Strategic Masterplan Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 09.12.20 1. General 1.1 Strategic Masterplan The Strategic Masterplan is required by the draft Epping Forest Local Plan. The draft Local Plan identifies land at the airfield for an employment site. What is a Strategic Masterplan and why is one The Strategic Masterplan is not a planning application for being prepared for land at development of the land. It is a document that will guide future the airfield? development and inform future planning applications. It sets out a vision for development of the allocated site and ‘design parameters’ to guide how the development could be laid out. Future planning applications will need to be worked-up within these agreed parameters which will guide future decision-making. A Strategic Masterplan is a document that, once endorsed by Council, will carry planning weight in decision-making. 1.2 The Site Land to the east of the main runway within the North Weald Airfield boundary is included in the Strategic Masterplan. What land is included in the Strategic Masterplan? The land is owned by Epping Forest District Council. 1.3 Airfield Uses Policy P6 (O) in the emerging Epping Forest Local Plan requires that the North Weald Airfield Masterplan makes provision for the Will airfield uses continue at retention and expansion of aviation uses to the west of the main the site? runway. This is an objective of the Strategic Masterplan and airfield operations will not be impeded by the proposed employment development. 1.4 HMRC Customs Facility The HMRC facility is not expected to be in place when the masterplan development is operational.

    Police Aviation News August 2021 1 ©Police Aviation Research Issue 304 August 2021 Police Aviation News August 2021 2 EDITORIAL In the past I have pointed out that those you do not take heed of their past put themselves in danger of making the same mistakes again. It is daunting to see how often that advice is being ignored. In the past month the Editor has contacted several important organisations affected by the situation in Wakefield and have even directly complained to NPAS in an effort to overcome the ongoing air of secrecy surrounding their past and present operations. Time will tell whether this will have any positive outcome. Meanwhile the UK Home Office, and by default the Government of the day, seem to have a plan that pro- motes offshore police aviation rather than its own. The troubles at NPAS are way beyond money but, far from ensuring that resources are available for UK police aviation money continues to be exported to France to bolster their apparently inadequate reaction to stemming the ongoing wave of migrants boating their way to England. In addition to significant sums sent to France last November [which clearly failed to work] a sum of £55M has been set aside to boost French border activity, including air patrols, into the future. That is significantly more than it cost to run NPAS for a whole year. Not that I am advocating that money would in any way resolve the ‘Wakefield Problem.’ They would probably use it to buy a new hangar somewhere, anywhere. Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT AUSTRALIA VICTORIA: A campaign to save “the first Victoria Police helicopter” has started after a news story started on News Channel 7.
