AIRCRAFT NOISE COMPETENT AUTHORITY:
PUBLIC CONSULTATION ON DUBLIN AIRPORT
FINGAL CHAMBER - NETWORK MAGAZINE
On 18 December 2020, the airport authority for Dublin Airport (daa) submitted a planning application to Fingal County Council Planning Authority seeking to amend prior planning conditions associated with night-time aircraft activity at the airport. The application relates to night time use of the new North Runway and changes to permitted night-time aircraft movements across the entire airport.

The application was referred to the Aircraft Noise Competent Authority (ANCA) for an assessment of the aircraft noise impact of the application as presented and, after determining that the application would cause a noise issue at Dublin Airport, ANCA undertook a detailed noise assessment. That assessment has resulted in the recent publications of a Draft Regulatory Decision and ANCA has now embarked on a 14-week public consultation where it is seeking submissions from stakeholders on its draft recommendations. The public consultation will inform ANCA’s final direction to the Planning Authority before it rules on daa’s application next year and stakeholders are being encouraged to make a submission before the end of the public consultation process on February 28.
