Constrained site
• 200,000 vehicle movements daily
• 50% of vehicles on strategic airportroads between 0800-0900 are airport staff
• T5 car parking cap - 42000 spaces
• Designated Air Quality Management Area
• Constrained vehicle movements, particularly within the Central Terminal Area
Transport issues
•Take our business partners with us – BAA Heathrow only makes up 5% of airport staff
•75% of employees are shift working
•Historically parking has always been seen as a staff benefit
•Transport challenges west and south of the airport – good services to the east and north
•Enable connectivity to 8 on-airport major employment areas
•Continue to be an attractive centre of employment
Airports are unusual sites
