SAVE’s View
SAVE welcomes the airport’s continuing readiness to consult our communities on their plans. But the NAP does not do enough to safeguard the peace and wellbeing of residents. Points you could raise in your response:
- Airport expansion should be linked to a demonstrated reduction in aircraft noise.
- The NAP should show a clear plan for noise reduction over the 5 year plan period.
- The plan should include targets for introduction of quieter aircraft and phasing out of older, noisier aircraft.
- Restrictions on training flights are welcome but need to be closely monitored.
