answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>Noise important areas are defined by the Department for Environment and Rural Affairs, under the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006. There are 13 noise important areas between junctions 6 and 9 of the M20. There are no noise levels defined in these Regulations so it is not possible to state how many areas are in exceedance, but noise levels along this stretch of motorway are broadly similar to other parts of the motorway network with similar levels of traffic flow.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/11/2017 14:21:15 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
