The Mayor’s Ambient Noise Strategy Mayor of London 147 13 ICAO Resolution A33/7, ‘A consolidated statement of continuing ICAO policy and practices relating to environmental protection’ provides a framework within which action to reduce aircraft noise is considered. 14 Following Government consultation in 2002, the Aerodromes (Noise Restrictions)(Rules and Procedures) Regulations 2003 (SI No 1742) implement European Directive 2002/30/EC on rules and procedures for introducing noise-related operating restrictions at Community airports. Proposals for change would also need to have regard to ICAO Resolution A33/7. 15 Strategic research goals of the Advisory Council for Aviation Research in Europe include reducing perceived external noise levels by half by 2020, see Strategic Research Agenda, October 2002, http://www.Acare4Europe.com/ 16 Arthur D Little Ltd (2000), ‘Study into the Potential Impact of Changes in Technology on the Development of Air Transport in the UK’ Report to DETR, November 2000 17 The initial part of Standard Instrument Departure Routes (SIDs) form the centre-line for Noise Preferential Routes used by departing aircraft, see glossary. Aircraft approach to land on a glideslope which is nominally a straight extension of the runway centre-line. 18 BAA/Heathrow, Noise Strategy 2000-2005. BAA Heathrow Planning & Environment Department, April 2001 19 ‘Noise from arriving aircraft: an industry code of practice’ Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions, with CAA, NATS, BAA, BA, Airtours International, September 2001, available from http://www.aviation.dft.gov.uk/index.htm#env 20 DfT. ‘The Future of Air Transport’ Cm 6046. Presented to Parliament by the Secretary of State for Transport, 16 December 2003, paragraph 11.66. 21 Paragraph 3.14 of the Air Transport White Paper (see note 20) indicated the Government’s intention to amend section 78 of the Civil Aviation Act 1982 so that night restrictions ‘could, subject to public consultation, be set on the basis of noise quotas alone, without a separate movements limit.’ The White Paper states that this could provide ‘a more effective incentive for airlines to acquire, use and develop quieter aircraft.’ However, as set out in paragraph 4C.9 of this strategy, numbers of noise events can also be an issue which Government policy proposals would need to address.
148 Mayor of London The Mayor’s Ambient Noise Strategy 22 For Government consultation on interim extension, ‘Night Flying Restrictions at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted’, Department for Transport, April 2003, see http://www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/groups/ dft_aviation/documents/page/dft_aviation_022757-01.hcsp#P28_575 23 Application No. 36022/97: Hatton and others v the United Kingdom, judgement issued 2 October 2001 24 Application No. 36022/97: Hatton and others v the United Kingdom, judgement issued 8 July 2003 25 Vallet M. ‘Effects of noise on health’ in Garcia A. ‘Environmental Urban Noise’ WIT Press, Southampton, 2001 26 DETR ‘Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland’ The Stationery Office, 2000 27 DETR, Planning Policy Guidance Note 24, 1994 28 Available on the Civil Aviation Authority website: http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/7/DfTEnvironmentalGuidance.pdf 29 Paragraph 3.7 of the Government’s Air Transport White Paper (see note 4) calls for a balanced approach to limiting and where possible reducing noise impacts. This includes ‘using land-use planning and management measures at and around airports, including avoiding new housing development in areas exposed to high levels of noise.’ Paragraphs 3.21 and 3.24 of the White Paper imply that ‘high’ means 69 dB L Aeq or more. 30 Building Bulletin 93 ‘The Acoustic Design of Schools’, DfES. (Section 1 came into force 1 July 2003). 31 http://www.doh.gov.uk/hef/airpol/wlondonschools.htm 32 http://www.ranchproject.org 33 See particularly, paragraph 3.23 of the December 2003 Air Transport White Paper (note 4). 34 Paragraphs 3.15 to 3.27 of the December 2003 Air Transport White Paper include some outline criteria for acoustic insulation schemes. No reason is given for specifying a 3 dB(A) increase criteria to trigger eligibility in respect of aircraft noise, when regulations for road and railway noise specify a 1 dB(A) increase (see Appendix A7).
