Details
These reports support the biodiversity analysis in the consultation on the Airport Commission鈥檚 shortlisted options for additional airport capacity.
Jacobs Consultancy鈥檚 鈥楤aseline鈥� report identifies designated sites in the region of the scheme proposals as well as non-designated sites and trends as those sites. It sets out baseline values based on a 鈥榙o-minimum鈥� case for issues such as bird-strike.
The 鈥楢ssessment鈥� report outlines the assessment of:
- biodiversity impacts
- mitigation
- cost estimates
for the areas affected by expansion proposals.
The 鈥楨cosystem services鈥� report considers the impacts of schemes on the life sustaining processes that provide environmental goods and services. Specifically, the goods and services which human life depends on and which enhance quality of life.
Large maps included in these documents have been published separately in the 鈥楩igures鈥� document.
