Following oral evidence sessions in Parliament, the Environmental Audit Committee have now made all evidence submitted for their inquiry into Airport expansion and climate and nature targets available. This includes evidence submitted by the IOA, in which we support the continued application of the Noise Policy Statement England as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework - "In the experience of the IOA, this policy works well and would urge the committee to support its continued use with respect to any aviation-related expansion, but taking account of the further existing regulations and policy that necessarily relate to the complex national and international context of aviation noise." A number of the 54 submissions made refer to noise impacts, notably evidence from the Noise Abatement Society, UK Noise Association and groups representing residents around regional airports.
