Full text:

While not seeking duplication, there should be an area of policy for the Airport, which refers to the Joint Area Action Plan. The Council has agreed to the JAAP and it is therefore logical that its parameters and objectives are included in the Core Strategy so that the more specific policies can be contained in the JAAP as a separate Local Development Document. These parameters and objectives are:
• To accommodate the increase in jobs
• To support the Airport's role in seeking to accommodate further passenger growth as set out in the Airports White Paper.
• To achieve infrastructure changes to improve airport safety and performance and to achieve better multi-modal surface transport access.
• To achieve environmental enhancement and related measures, including adjustments to the Green Belt boundary to make it more logical and defendable.
