WG1 Workshop – Land-use Planning and Mitigation

Keep 5 sections, 4 as per the Balanced Approach plus Community Engagement

HNCF WG1 WG2 WG1 WG2 WG1To work with our

airline partners to

ensure that

Heathrow

operates with a

‘best in class’ fleet

annually.

We will work with all

our stakeholders to

explore and employ

smarter operating

procedures to

reduce the noise

impact of aircraft on

residents.

To offer schemes to

local communities

and residents, and

buildings to help

provide noise

mitigation.

Focus Today

To engage openly
