The 鈥楲ocal assessment鈥� considers noise impacts of schemes on the areas surrounding the expanded airport.
The 鈥楴ational assessment鈥� examines the national level noise impacts of schemes. It considers both their impacts on traffic at the expanded airport and the expected consequences for traffic at other major UK airports.
Large maps included in these documents have been published separately in the 鈥楩igures鈥� document.
