Noise plan consultation launched
03.07.09
East Midlands Airport has launched a 16 week public consultation on its plans to manage the impact of aircraft noise and review the measures it currently currently in place. The plans are part of a European Union directive that requires all main sources of environmental noise to produce Noise Action Plans.
The airport’s draft Noise Action Plan consultation will run until 21 October 2009. During this period the Airport hold a series of outreach events offering local communities, councils and other stakeholders the opportunity to discuss the plan. After the consultation period the airport will consider all comments received before submitting a plan to the Government for approval later this year.
The airport already has a range of noise management and mitigation measures in place, including; Noise Preferred Routes which require planes to fly specified departure routes, a Sound Insulation Scheme for people affected by aircraft noise, Noise Penalties for planes breaching the airport’s noise levels and restrictions on the noisiest planes operating at night.
