Its never going to go away, there will always be NIMBYs. When I was a lad 90% of the SOU noise complaints came from much less than 1% of the surrounding population. Something that we were never allowed to ask was "When did you buy your house? If it was after about 1911 there has always been an airport close by, so if you don't like aeroplanes, why buy a house near an airport?"
Closer to the present, how many remember the daily BUA BAC 1-11 from/to Glasgow, that was real noise!
Unless there is going to be some changes proposed to the current Section 106 Agreement, which I find extremely doubtful, ie either the airport trying to extend operations past 2300 or the LPAs trying to further restrict operations, just exactly what is the environmental impact going to be? If you are going to object then quantify it and provide evidence to show just exactly what, beyond the current situation, is going to further adversely impact the environment.
