Details

Environmental Research and Consultancy Department (ERCD) produce annual reports on noise exposure contours at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports. These are detailed reports and essential reading to understand both how noise exposure contours are produced and how they should be interpreted. Contours from 2016 onwards are commissioned and published by the designated airports.

The annual reports include small scale diagrams of noise exposure contours which provide an overall impression of their proximity to major towns. More detailed representation of noise exposure contours on the ground are available as:
