In its Noise Action Plan BAA
admits for the first time that over 700,000 people are affected by noise
from Heathrow
- more than double its previous estimate

The picture shows the actual planes – 33 – that went over in one hour. Nearly all over 70 decibels. Yet Vauxhall is 17-20 miles from Heathrow and just a stones throw from the House of Parliament.
In its Noise Action Plan for Heathrow published on 15th June for a 16 week period of public consultation, BAA has been forced too acknowledge for the first time that over 700,000 people are affected by aircraft noise from the airport, more than twice the number it previously admitted to. But the action plan, which the Government asked BAA to draw up on its behalf, is deeply disappointing by because it sets out no firm plans to reduce noise from the airport. The EU requires all member states to draw up noise action plans.
