London City airport – Noise Action Plan Consultation (ends 5th Sept) for next 5 years, 2018 – 2023

London City airport is now updating its 2013 – 2018 Noise Action Plan (NAP). The new plan will cover the next 5 years, 2018 – 2023. The airport has a consultation that runs from 25th July to 5th September. People can comment on the current plan, and say what they think should be changed.  The draft plan is at Noise Action Plan 2018-2023.  “The main purpose of the NAP is to establish the noise impact of the airport in order to consider whether the current noise management measures are sufficient to protect the local community adequately, particularly those worst affected. In order to demonstrate this LCY’s noise impact has been assessed by qualified independent consultants and is documented in Appendix A.” …  The airport has a limit of 120,000 permitted aircraft movements per annum, based upon noise factored aircraft movements.  For 2013,  London City Airport had a total of 77,377 noise factored movements (based on 73,642 aircraft movements).

London City airport – Noise Action Plan Consultation

LCY are now updating this plan to cover the next 5 years, and are seeking feedback from stakeholders and members of the public. This feedback is very important to the review of the Noise Action Plan, and LCY has therefore launched a consultation which will run for 6 weeks from 25th July to 5th September 2018. The draft Noise Action Plan 2018-2023 can be found here: Noise Action Plan 2018-2023.

A few extracts from the document, which is not really a consultation:

As detailed under point 4.1, London City
Airport has a limit of 120,000 permitted
aircraft movements per annum. This limit is
based upon noise factored aircraft movements
(more information on this can be found in
Section 6 Noise Management). For 2013,
London City Airport had a total of 77,377 noise
factored movements (based on 73,642 aircraft
movements).

1.1 In 2010 London City Airport (LCY) published a Noise Action Plan
(NAP), in accordance with the Environmental Noise (England)
Regulations 2006 (as amended) (ENR), outlining LCY’s extensive
commitments to monitor and mitigate the impacts of aircraft
noise from 2010 – 2015. The Environmental Noise (England)
Regulations 2006 (as amended) were introduced to implement the
European Directive 2002/49/EC Assessment and Management of
Environmental Noise, commonly known as the Environmental Noise
Directive (END).

1.2 The NAP (2010 – 2015) was formally adopted by the Secretary of
State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) on 9th May
2012.

1.3 It is a requirement of the ENR that the NAP will be reviewed
at least every 5 years and revised as necessary. This document
is the outcome of such a review and provides an update on the
performance of the NAP (2010 – 2015) and covers the period from
2013 – 2018, in accordance with the ENR. This NAP (2013 –
2018) will therefore supersede the previous NAP (2010 – 2015).

1.4 The main purpose of the NAP is to establish the noise impact of the
airport in order to consider whether the current noise management
measures are sufficient to protect the local community adequately,
particularly those worst affected. In order to demonstrate this
LCY’s noise impact has been assessed by qualified independent
consultants and is documented in Appendix A.
