	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether he plans to conduct an optimism bias assessment on public sensitivity to aviation noise in communities that are likely to be affected by expansion at Heathrow.
	tabling member constituency	Brentford and Isleworth
	tabling member printed	Ruth Cadbury
	uin	261242
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department for Transport guidance sets out how we should consider optimism bias when appraising transport schemes. In the case of Heathrow expansion, we estimated noise impacts using a central demand scenario in order to provide estimates consistent with the rest of the appraisal. In order to test worse case impacts, a higher demand scenario was used in the revised Appraisal of Sustainability (AoS).</p><p> </p><p>The 2014 Survey of Noise Attitudes (SoNA) recognises that attitudes towards aviation noise are changing. The work carried out during the SoNA study shows that sensitivity to aircraft noise has increased, with the same percentage of people being highly annoyed at lower levels of noise than in a past study. As a result, the Government has introduced new metrics and appraisal guidance to assess noise impacts and their impacts on health and quality of life. This will ensure that the noise impacts of proposed airspace changes are considered much further away from airports than at present.</p><p> </p><p>The Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise (ICCAN) began work earlier this year, and will focus on developing best practice guidance in aviation noise management.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 14/06/2019 12:45:10 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

	uin	261243
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2019 answer text <p>This matter was raised in the department’s Airspace and Noise Engagement Group, which is a formal channel of communication between the department and airspace and airport noise stakeholders, and also with the Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise (ICCAN). As they discussed, the department is considering the need to commission a further Survey of Noise Attitudes to provide updated evidence on the effects of aircraft noise on annoyance, wellbeing and health.</p><p> </p><p>The extent to which this survey could include communities living in contours below 51 dB LAeq, is dependent on reliable measurement and modelling of aircraft noise at lower aircraft noise levels. This is currently difficult to achieve, but future technological solutions around sound processing are expected to assist.</p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 14/06/2019 13:08:47 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
