Heathrow 3rd Runway Development
Cost: £18.3 bil
Will help to increase capacity of the airport;
bringing more buissnessmen and tourists into
England. This will help to boost the economy
Expansion is essentual to keep up with demand
as Heathrow is running at almost full capacity
Profit: approx. £100 billion
Would also create over 70,000 new jobs
Pollution including both air and noice pollution will increase under flight paths and in the surrounding area
Green areas would be destroyed to create the runways as well as put pressure on exsisting infrastructure such as roads, public transport and rail services

Fracking
The process of drilling down into horizontal layers of shale deep underground and then injecting a mixture of water, sand and chemicals at high pressure into the shale to fracture it and release gas trapped in the rock whoch can then be brought to the surface
Fracking in England would reduce its dependency on other countries and add to its energy security
Planning for housing needs
Rising population
Higher number of households

Oversea investors (oligarchs)
Affordable housing
Planning laws:
Planning is about deciding how land is used
It helps create places that people want to live, work, relax and invest in
Central and local governments have tightly controlled all aspects of development since 1948 through a plan-led system
National interests may override local interests in planning decisions
Since 2010 the government's National Planning Policy framework has focused planning on stimulating the economic growth
Planners may regulate markets by using a tool called ‘planning gain’ whereby they allow development if there is a benefit to the local community
