The Noise Control measures include provision that the noise impact <strong>of</strong> theairport’s operations should be no worse than that measured in 1992. Thisobligation extends to at least 2011. The noise impact is measure in terms <strong>of</strong>the maximum noise levels <strong>of</strong> departing traffic (average <strong>of</strong> the noisiest 10% <strong>of</strong>movements) and the modelled area <strong>of</strong> the 60 LAeq (0700-2300) noisecontour. If either <strong>of</strong> these is greater than the equivalent areas in 1992, theAirport is in breach <strong>of</strong> this obligation. The Airport is required to maintain anoise monitoring and track-keeping system and provide annual noise contoursfor the preceeding year and for the next two years. Noise monitoring andcommunity complaints reports are to be published monthly. Other objectivesinclude a commitment that 96% <strong>of</strong> total scheduled operations should be byChapter 3 aircraft by 2000. Further obligations include limitations on nighttime engine running, a target to increase use <strong>of</strong> fixed electrical power unitsand noise track-keeping targets <strong>of</strong> a 5% (1.5 km) deviation from the centreline<strong>of</strong> the standard instrument departure routings.Night flying controls are similar to that <strong>of</strong> daytime flying (eg no expansion <strong>of</strong>maximum noise levels <strong>of</strong> departing traffic or the 60 LAeq night noise contour.Maximum night time movement limits and a Quota Count system are applied.Night flights must not exceed a maximum <strong>of</strong> 7% <strong>of</strong> total movements until atleast 2011 – whilst the annual Quota Count (Points Budget) is 3900 (Winter)and 8750 (Summer) up to 2005. Further restrictions apply to the use <strong>of</strong> thesecond runway at night and to the use <strong>of</strong> reverse thrust.The environmental mitigation works relate to a package <strong>of</strong> measures tominimise the impact <strong>of</strong> the second runway on landscape and ecologicalinterests. This includes protection for local wildlife including newts and otheramphibians, bats and badgers, as well as general landscaping.The Airport’s obligations towards highways and local public transport linksinclude financial contributions to specified schemes and the active promotion<strong>of</strong> public transport by the commitment <strong>of</strong> not less than 10% <strong>of</strong> the airport’smarketing budget towards this objective. Targets for the use <strong>of</strong> publictransport and car sharing schemes by airport staff are also to be established.EU00142:FINAL REPORT PAGE 37
