Less noisy night time flights
29.04.11
Planning officers will not take action against Leeds Bradford Airport over breaches of rules on noisier night flights, the Yorkshire Post reports. Last April Leeds planning offices wrote to the airport expressing concerns about breaches of planning conditions relating to night time noise, but these have decreased.
Planning rules for the airport contain detailed conditions on night flights and prohibit departures and landings by specific types of aircraft. Figures showed that there were 7 breaches of the night time noise rules between November 2009 and February 2010, or just over 2% of the 333 aircraft taking off or landing at night during the period.
Although further breaches have happened since the warning letter was issued, the authority says the numbers of breaches are falling. Between March and August last year there were 3 breaches from 1365 night flights, with just 2 breaches between September and February this year.
