SOUTHEND - 3 The new beginning

[LN-KGL]

London Southend Airport Noise Action Plan from March 2012:
46 EXPECTED OUTCOME

It is not possible at this stage to forecast the outcome of the proposed noise reduction measures. The planning application Environmental Assessment contains forecasts of the noise contours and the respective numbers of persons within each contour for the Base Case and the Development Case. In summary, the areas and populations within each contour are as set out in Table 16 below:



Table 16: Dwellings and People in Noise Contour Areas – LAeq,16h (16h Period): 2020

The London Southend Airport Noise Action Plan from March 2012 has noise maps based on 2006 traffic. Looking at today's traffic, the commercial movements has tripled since that time (comparing on numbers for 2006 with 2012). Using the maps provided I guess we are talking about some few houses on the western side of Southend Road north of the Sutton Road roundabout that are among the above 69 dBLAeq,16h mentioned in the development case column.
