CAA update on recovery of early planning costs related to proposed expansion of Heathrow Airport.

 

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has today published an update on its approach to the recovery of early planning costs related to the proposed expansion of Heathrow Airport.

In this update, the CAA states it is minded to allow the recovery of early planning costs in 2025 and the first half of 2026 by Heathrow Airport Ltd. The CAA is also minded to allow early planning costs for other scheme promoters-provided their proposals are credible and appropriately mature. This would be subject to appropriate safeguards and incentives to ensure consumers are protected from inefficient or unnecessary costs.

This approach is intended to support the timely, efficient, and effective expansion of capacity at Heathrow, in line with the Government's timetable.

The regulator expects to publish a further update on our approach to the recovery of early planning and enabling works costs in November 2025.
