<strong>Night</strong> noise insulation scheme<br />

<strong>Heathrow</strong>’s residential <strong>Night</strong> <strong>Noise</strong> <strong>Insulation</strong><br />

Scheme is designed to help address <strong>the</strong> impacts<br />

of night flights on <strong>the</strong> local communities around<br />

<strong>Heathrow</strong>.<br />

The scheme was introduced following <strong>the</strong><br />

Government’s conclusions for <strong>the</strong> night flights<br />

regime, announced in 2006.<br />

The scheme covers approximately 41,000 homes<br />

around <strong>Heathrow</strong>, providing noise insulation for<br />

bedrooms and bed‐sitting rooms.<br />

Your options<br />

The scheme is designed to offer choice and<br />

flexibility to meet different people’s needs.<br />

You can choose:<br />

• 50% contribution for replacement bedroom<br />

windows from <strong>the</strong> options available<br />

or<br />

• Free secondary glazing to bedroom windows<br />

Plus, free ventilation and loft insulation as part<br />

of <strong>the</strong> scheme. (Loft insulation helps to fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

reduce noise disturbance).<br />

What do I need to do?<br />

We hope that you will take advantage of <strong>the</strong><br />

scheme. To do this, you can check your post code<br />

eligibility and register your interest by completing<br />

<strong>the</strong> application form at heathrow.com/noise.<br />

What happens next?<br />

We will review your application to confirm<br />

eligibility. Once approved, a surveyor will <strong>the</strong>n<br />

contact you and arrange to visit you at home to<br />

discuss your individual requirements.<br />

We will arrange for <strong>the</strong> agreed work to be carried<br />

out by well-known glazing firms with a reputation<br />

for high quality products and services.<br />

Who is eligible to apply?<br />

Any resident of a property within <strong>the</strong> scheme<br />

boundary is eligible, this is based on <strong>the</strong> noise<br />

‘footprint’ of <strong>the</strong> noisiest aircraft regularly<br />

operating between 11.30pm–6.00am.<br />

If you already have double glazing and do not<br />

want it replaced, <strong>Heathrow</strong> can arrange a free<br />

home visit to identify whe<strong>the</strong>r your home’s<br />

current insulation qualities can be improved<br />

under <strong>the</strong> scheme.<br />
