EN12: Noise from Heathrow Airport

The Council will support measures to minimise the impact of noise from Heathrow Airport on the Borough and will oppose changes that increase noise impact. Specifically it will seek the support of BAA, the Government and relevant statutory authorities for the following measures:

  • maintenance of the use of noise preferential routes,
  • controls on flying at night that will achieve a progressive improvement in the night noise climate, including a limit on the total number of flights at night,
  • maintenance of existing controls on ground noise.
