The Government is developing a new aviation strategy called the Sustainable Framework for UK Aviation. It is due to be published for consultation in March 2012 and it will be important to influence it to make sure that aviation respects environmental limits. We have met with the Department for Transport to raise our concerns, which we have followed up with a response to feed into the preparation of the draft Framework.

CPRE also gave evidence to a major parliamentary inquiry into the use of airspace. The inquiry's report cited our research on tranquillity and adopted our call to limit flights over sensitive areas such as National Parks as one of its key recommendations. We are now working with the Civil Aviation Authority to improve ways of measuring the impact of flights.
