15. Summary of impact on Stanstead Abbotts • Stansted arrival change beneficial • Luton and Northolt change slightly beneficial • Overall beneficial with traffic at current levels

16. Noise Disturbance (1) • Noise impact defined by number of people affected rather than amount of noise they are exposed to • Routes moved to less densely populated areas • Current tranquil areas will suffer from more noise

17. Noise Disturbance (2) • Measured by Lmax levels • But aircraft numbers and duration important factors • Aircraft noise has low frequency and tonal characteristics which increase annoyance • Low background noise environment

18. Equivalent Lmax Levels

19. NATS Consultation • Closed on 19 June 2008 • Results published on 22 July • Implemented April 2009 onwards • Can still write to CAA • Copy your MP

20. Stansted Second Runway

21. Maximum use of R1 • BAA wants increase from 25 to 35 mppa • Flights increase from 550 to 700 per day • Could eventually be 45 or 50 mppa • Awaiting Govt decision • Delayed since BAA admitted understating pollution and road traffic impacts • AND passenger numbers are now falling

22. Second Runway • Before R1 decided, BAA lodged R2 application • Will be called in for Public Inquiry • Starts next year and last 12+ months • Inspector submits report in 2010 • Government decision in 2011

25. Second Runway • Massive 2½ square mile land grab + more for buffer zone • Destruction of 73 homes including 13 listed buildings • Triple the passengers to 68 million • Flights increase from 550 to 1380 per day • Extra 11 million tonnes air pollution per year

28. Hertford East Train Services • Currently basic service 2 trains/hour (3/hour peak) suffering high levels of overcrowding • Particularly Liverpool Street service since some now have Stratford as destination • STEX services with 4 trains/hour eat up capacity • Network Rail looking at longer trains and additional tracks • BAA assume airport rail work complete end-2017 Without better services before airport expansion, Hertford East service will get worse

31. All UK wind farms save 4½ million tonnes per year Only equates to ⅔ year full use of existing runway

32. Opposition to Second Runway • Parish, District, County Councils • East of England Regional Authority • MPs and MEPs • Conservation Groups • SSE’s 7,000 members • Local communities

33. What you can do • Respond to R2 consultation to Uttlesford District Council by 26 September • Copy your MP • Support SSE • R2 is not inevitable – WE CAN WIN

34. Root Cause Airport expansion = more noise + more CO2 emissions
