The No 3rd Runway Coalition has produced a campaign on the hidden costs of any expansion at Heathrow:-

The DfT predicts reduced growth at non-London airports if Heathrow expands. Official analysis shows just how uneven the impact will be:

Manchester: loses 5 million passengers per year

Birmingham: loses 2 million passengers per year

Smaller regional airports: lose 10 million passengers per year

Taxpayer Costs of Heathrow Expansion

Heathrow’s expansion will cost over £50bn... PLUS:-

£100bn in carbon abatement

£25bn plus in costs to the NHS

£20bn in public transport improvements

The true cost of Heathrow expansion - all that extra noise, stress and air pollution... Who will pay the NHS costs? The new road and rail links in the South East of England? Who will pay for the carbon cost? Without transparency, the public will be left footing the bill.

Taxpayer Costs of Heathrow Expansion

Heathrow is already £17.6bn in debt. Bigger isn’t always better. Expansion could weaken Heathrow’s finances and push up passenger prices. More debt. More risk. Higher costs. The Government must answer: why should travellers and taxpayers bail out Heathrow’s gamble?

Noise Impacts of Heathrow Expansion

Over 2 million people could face increased aircraft noise if a 3rdunway is built, with research showing communities are exposed to a 24% higher risk of stroke, 21% higher risk of heart disease, and 14% higher risk of cardiovascular illness. More than 460 schools around Heathrow already experience aircraft noise levels known to impair children’s memory and learning.

Biodiversity Impacts of Heathrow Expansion

Heathrow expansion would permanently damage a nationally important wildlife landscape. The Colne Valley, its rivers, wetlands and green spaces are a vital corridor for biodiversity, and once that habitat is lost, it cannot simply be replaced.
