The draft HENPS outlines requirements for relocating Immigration Removal Centres, as well as their connected assets, located northwest of Heathrow Airport. Any proposals must be developed in collaboration, and to the satisfaction of, the Home Office. Proposals must also be financially viable and will be subject to funding agreements, planning consent, and any other relevant statutory approvals.
