uin	208885
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS), published in April 2017, identified £1.2 billion of funding available for cycling and walking projects over the period 2016-21. Since then, additional funding streams have been made available, including the Transforming Cities Fund, Clean Air Fund, Future High Streets Fund and Housing Infrastructure Fund. As a result, almost £2bn of funding is now projected to be invested in cycling and walking projects between 2016/17 to 2020/21 from a range of funding programmes across Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Government response to the CWIS Safety Review, published in November 2018, gave further details, including a year by year breakdown of the funding projected for cycling and walking over the period to 2021. The Department is unable to provide a detailed breakdown of funding between cycling and walking projects because in some cases funding allocations are still to be confirmed by the relevant Government Department or local body, and in practice many projects support both cycling and walking. Further investment decisions will also be shaped by the forthcoming Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/01/2019 17:05:02 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the number of people who live in the 45Lden noise contour around Heathrow airport.
tabling member constituency	Brentford and Isleworth
tabling member printed	Ruth Cadbury
uin	189700
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The Appraisal of Sustainability that accompanies the Airports National Policy Statement (NPS) provides a strategic level assessment of the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts of expansion, including on noise. The Appraisal of Sustainability makes it clear that for the purposes of this strategic level assessment, it would not be suitable to produce noise contours and therefore estimate numbers of people affected below 54dB LAeq, 16 hour for the daytime or 48 dB LAeq, 8 hours for the night time. This is because variability in aircraft position in the air at these greater distances from the airport, and airport noise being closer to background noise levels, result in a lower level of certainty.</p><p> </p><p>The Airports NPS sets out specific mitigations for aircraft noise that the Government expects to see delivered. These include the applicant putting forward plans for a noise envelope which is tailored to local priorities and includes noise performance targets. The applicant will also need to develop plans for a runway alternation scheme that provides communities affected with predictable periods of respite. The Government also expects a ban on scheduled night flights for a period of six and a half hours.</p><p> </p><p>These supporting measures will be finalised through the planning process and subject to public consultation. These will then be considered by the Planning Inspectorate and the Secretary of State in determining an application for development consent.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 19/11/2018 17:00:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
