Please respond to the questions below:
1. Our framework for noise management
At Heathrow, we have consistently worked hard to maintain our position as a global leader in noise management, as shown in the results of the noise mapping (Chapter 6). For this fourth Noise Action Plan, we have developed a noise management programme that delivers innovative initiatives to reduce the impact of aircraft noise, as described in Chapter 8.
