Return of the eco-protestor.

The article focuses on the Camp for Climate Action that was erected on land between the villages of Sipson and Harlington in west London, England. Direct action in protest at major infrastructure schemes is nothing new, although it has taken a lower profile in recent years. The Heathrow demonstration coincided with the close of the consultation on the government's planning White Paper. The paper lists a number of provisions for public engagement, including mandatory public consultation by promoters of schemes before they get to the planning commission.
