What Heathrow expansion means for you
Evening Standard21 Nov 2007
How different areas will be affected by the proposed expansion
Acton
Under flight path to 3rd runway – aircraft landing all day long, one virtually every 90 seconds, when west wind is blowing. Many more take-offs when east wind is blowing.
Alexandra Palace
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
Balham
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway. More take-offs as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Battersea
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – up to one every 90 seconds for much longer periods throughout the day.
Blackheath
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
Beaconsfield
Big increase in take-offs as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000. Landing aircraft may come closer to the town as more airspace will be required to cater for extra planes using the third runway.
Brentford and Osterley
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – no switching of runways at 3pm. Many more take-offs as the number of planes using the airport soars from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Brixton
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – maybe more than one every 90 seconds for much longer periods throughout the day as there will be flights heading for all three runways.
Camberwell
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
Chiswick
Under flight path to 3rd runway – aircraft landing all day long, one virtually every 90 seconds, when west wind is blowing (usually 70% of the year).
Clapham
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – maybe more than one every 90 seconds for much longer periods throughout the day as there will be flights heading for all three runways.
Cranford
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – no switching of runways at 3pm. Aircraft taking off all day long when the east wind is blowing – the result of the Cranford Agreement being abolished.
Datchet
Many more take-offs as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000. An initial reduction in aircraft landing if runway alternation is introduced.
Denham
Big increase in landings as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Docklands
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.

Earls Court
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – up to one every 90 seconds.
East London
Places such as Leyton, Leytonstone, Forest Gate, Stratford, Mile End and Hackney are overflown by aircraft landing at Heathrow. Expect a significant increase on days the west wind is blowing (70% of the year) as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
Feltham
Many more take-offs as the number of planes using the airport soars from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Finsbury Park
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
Fulham
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – up to one every 90 seconds for much longer periods throughout the day. Also probably planes joining new flight path for 3rd runway.
Gerrards Cross
Big increase in landings and take-offs as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Greenwich
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
Hammersmith
Under flight path to 3rd runway – aircraft landing all day long, one virtually every 90 seconds, when west wind is blowing (usually 70% of the year).
Hampstead
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway. Many more take-offs during east winds as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Hampton Court
Many more take-offs as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Henley
Many more landings as flight numbers soar from 473,000 a year to 800,000.
Heston
Under flight path to 3rd runway – aircraft landing all day long, one virtually every 90 seconds, when west wind is blowing. Many more take-offs when east wind is blowing.
Highbury
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
Highgate
Aircraft landing all day long when west wind is blowing – a big increase in aircraft overhead as there will be more flights on the existing runways and also flights heading for the new runway.
High St Kensington/Holland Park
Under flight path to 3rd runway – aircraft landing all day long, one virtually every 90 seconds, when west wind is blowing (usually 70% of the year).
Hillingdon borough
Most of the borough is not currently under take-off or landing flight paths, although the north of the borough is overflown on easterlies by arriving planes at higher altitudes. With mixed mode, there would be easterly departures on the north runway resulting in increased ground noise in Longford, and increased air noise in Harlington. Also, both areas would lose existing periods of respite given by runway alternation. With a 3rd runway, new areas of the south of the borough would be directly overflown and subject to air noise, whilst areas near the proposed 6th terminal would also be subject to ground noise.
Hounslow

Planes are flying lower now than ever before. I noticed your air pollution area doesn't include Kingston, yet planes fly low here too on take-off and we're miles away from Heathrow. The only people who want expansion are the ones whose pockets will be lined as a result.
Stop it now before it's too late.

The horrific increase in flights will make London unbearable to live in. Any economic advantages suggested by Ruth Kelly are far outweighed by the misery to be inflicted on London residents. The 3rd runway must be blocked at all costs. Maybe a march to parliament by the millions of London flight path sufferers would bring bring the government to its senses.

There is no economic justification for the further expansion of Heathrow airport, only noise and misery for Londoners. Why has the London economy done so well over the last 10 years with no airport expansion while our much vaunted European competitors have done so badly with apparently unlimited airport expansion (Paris, Franfurt and Amsterdam airports have according to Willie Walsh been allowed to expand with more runways than Heathrow). Economic meltdown if Heathrow is not expanded is just a scare tactic to futher the interests of the airline industry, especially British Airways and BAA. Frankly Willie Walsh it's about BA's profit line at any cost (including the degradation in the quality of life if up to 2 million Londoners).

So we are going to get double the daytime landings, are we? It is difficult to get a good night's sleep at the moment with the night landings which are permitted. How can all this be legal? Council tax here is almost the highest in the country, but our quality of life is getting worse and worse.
