Closed What can be done about aircraft noise? Petition for aircraft noise to be classed as a statutory nuisance.

Closed on

Although it is acknowledged as a major environmental impact, aircraft noise is not currently a statutory nuisance in the UK. It is not covered by the Environmental Protection Act 1990 or the Noise Act 1996, which means that local authorities do not have the legal power to take action on matters of aircraft noise.
