Please note: this consultation closed on 27 February 2008.

This document presents revised future aircraft noise exposure estimates for Heathrow airport. The work has been undertaken in support of the Department for Transport’s (DfT) Consultation: Adding Capacity at Heathrow airport. The assessment does not constitute a full environmental impact assessment; rather it attempts to identify the types of scenarios that would be compatible with the stringent criteria stated in the Air Transport White Paper.
