The Noise Action Plan approved by DEFRA in March 2012 shows that it's actually arrivals and departures that are included within that allowance of 90 monthly passenger flight movements which may be scheduled between 23:00 and 23:30.
A monthly quota of 120 movements, limited to QC1 aircraft and excluding helicopters, are allowed between 23:00 and 06:30 although no passenger flights can be scheduled within those hours with the exception of those mentioned above. Delayed scheduled flights and diversions are excluded from the monthly quota, as are emergency, military, government and police flights as well as those by QC exempt aircraft.
I'm assuming that this Noise Action Plan is the one currently in force.
