Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what level of aircraft noise has been recorded in Camberwell and Peckham constituency in each of the last five years; and what assessment he has made of the effect of the addition of a third runway at Heathrow Airport on noise levels in that constituency in each of the five years after the expansion of that airport.

The Government does not record the level of aircraft noise in the Camberwell and Peckham constituency area. We do, however, expect airports to help local communities understand the noise impacts they are affected by, through appropriate noise monitoring and the provision of relevant information.

The Airports Commission used indicative flightpaths to assess the likely noise impacts of the Northwest Runway scheme. At this stage, it is not possible to identify the exact noise impacts on specific communities after expansion.

There is a thorough process for proposing airspace changes in the UK which will be followed alongside the planning process. It will be through the airspace change process that communities will see and be able to comment on the detailed proposals for new flightpaths.
