Reducing airport noise pollution

September/October 2023

London City Airport recently submitted a planning application, which would increase early morning and Saturday flights, as well as passenger numbers.

Newham Council has refused the application on the grounds that it would result in a new material noise impact (in the areas around the airport), leading to significant harm to residents because increased noise is detrimental to the health and quality of life.

The airport has lodged an appeal and the council is encouraging residents to submit objections to the changes to protect local people from greater noise pollution.

Please let residents know, especially those living near the airport. The deadline for submissions from residents is 28 Sept.
