Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) has published its 2026 In Your Area: Stanwell and Stanwell Moor consultation booklet. While the the third runway is to the north-west, the construction reality for Stanwell Moor will be immediate and prolonged. Our community faces years of intensive civil engineering before a single flight departs the new runway.
There will be Major Construction Support Sites (CSS) Encircling the Village. These include CSS12 (Spout Lane / North of Stanwell Moor) from the very beginning. This site supports M25 tunnelling, Western Bypass taxiways, and the future Terminal 5XW works. Next is CSS11 (Airport Way / Stanwell Moor Road Junction) – an intensive compound right off our eastern boundary, operational from the beginning as a contractor compound. Finally, there is CSS10 (Southern Boundary / Old Quarry Site) which will to handle the Southern Parkway build.
There will be 24/7 Working Hours and Night-Time Disruption. To meet its deadlines HAL will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including Bank Holidays. This includes piling for Southern Parkway structures, and concrete batching operations are located near our homes.
Village Road Congestion and Access Constraints. There is no doubt that our exit from and entry to the village has the potential to be a nightmare with Construction traffic along the A3113 Airport Way and A3044 Stanwell Moor Road. The reconstruction of the junction for these roads into a multi-level roundabout with a tunnel and lane additions could make it impossible at times for us to enter and leave our village while it is being rebuilt.
What we need to know: which construction activities will be barred during night-time hours (23:00 to 07:00) adjacent to Stanwell Moor, and what legally binding noise thresholds will trigger work stoppages?”
Why are CSS10 and CSS1212 sites positioned right against our village rather than within the existing airside boundary?
What enforceable traffic management orders will prevent heavy lorries and supply trucks from cutting through Stanwell Moor village?
For earthworks digging what continuous, real-time particulate and odour monitoring stations will be placed inside Stanwell Moor, and who holds the independent authority to halt operations if safe limits are breached?
For those of us who use Junction 14 M25 junction this is likely to be inaccessible while the motorway is moved westwards.
442 users like myself face temporary route diversions and delays.
The upcoming consultation event takes place at Stanwell Moor Village Hall on Thursday, 12 November 2026, from 2-7pm.
