In addition, HAL has committed to deliver a programme of noise insulation and ventilation for schools and community buildings within the 60dB LAeq (16hr) contour.</p><p> </p><p>The geographical areas that the scheme could cover is dependent on flight paths for an expanded Heathrow Airport.

In considering the scheme proposed by HAL the review found the schemes to be comparable to those on offer in other countries.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/05/2019 15:22:04 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
