The Heathrow Strategic Planning Group (HSPG) is a unique collaboration of Local Authorities surrounding Heathrow Airport. Our vision is to operate on a sub-regional level to develop a functional and sustainable economic area across Local Authorities around Heathrow Airport.
The HSPG was established in 2015 to help shape the proposed expansion plans for Heathrow Airport, regardless of individual members’ support or opposition to it.
We advise and have expertise across land use planning, transport, environmental impact, economic development, airspace management, and sustainable development. We have a particular focus on supporting the sub-region to decarbonise and develop credible pathways to achieve net zero.
We operate on a sub-regional level and work constructively with, but independently of, Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL), as well as with local and national stakeholders including the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Department for Transport.
We publish a monthly newsletter covering the latest news in aviation from updates on airport expansion projects across the UK, to progress towards decarbonisation. Read our newsletters below and sign up to our mailing list.
