5 Noise

This is a brief note to update Members on the DfT’s current policy development work. The DfT is hosting a series of discussion groups with members of the DfT’s Airspace and Noise Engagement Group (ANEG). There is a range of different interests and parties involved. They have discussed the night flights policy review and an overarching noise policy, in particular how noise should be measured. Further groups will look at regulatory measures and enforcement, Air Quality, health effects and land use planning. The outcomes from these discussion groups will feed into the DfT’s policy development leading to a revised noise policy paper expected later in 2022.

The Government also aims to publish in the fairly near future an overarching aviation policy framework which will take a look at the industry and it’s challenges over the medium term.

Minutes It was reported that between 1 September 2021 and 31 December 2021, 117 noise complaints were received. 57 complaints had been received from one household in the Bitterne Park area.

Councillor Bronk requested confirmation why the visit mentioned in the minutes was deferred until the end of the judicial review.

The Operations’ Director said it was because there was nothing to tell but he was happy to meet Councillor Bronk and colleagues to talk about noise contours and the way in which data is collected.
