Competent authorities will ensure the use of noise assessment methods which have been developed in accordance with the European Civil Aviation Conference Report Doc 29 entitled ‘Standard Method of Computing Noise Contours around Civil Airports’, 3rd Edition.
For reduction at source:
information on the current aircraft fleet and any expected technology improvements;
specific fleet renewal plans.
For land-use planning and management:
planning instruments in place, such as comprehensive planning or noise zoning;
mitigating measures in place, such as building codes, noise insulation programmes or measures to reduce areas of sensitive land use;
consultation process in respect of the land-use measures;
monitoring of encroachment.
For noise abatement operational measures, to the extent that those measures do not restrict the capacity of an airport:
use of preferential runways;
use of noise-preferential routes;
use of noise abatement take-off and approach procedures;
indication of the extent to which those measures are regulated under environment indicators, as mentioned in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 691/2010.
For operating restrictions:
use of global restrictions, such as a cap on movements or noise quotas;
use of aircraft-specific restrictions, such as the withdrawal of marginally compliant aircraft;
use of partial restrictions, drawing a distinction between daytime measures and night-time measures.
The financial instruments in place, such as noise-related airport charges.
The cost-effectiveness of envisaged noise-related operating restrictions will be assessed taking due account of the following elements, to the extent possible, in quantifiable terms:
the anticipated noise benefit of the envisaged measures, now and in the future;
the safety of aviation operations, including third-party risks;
the capacity of the airport;
any effects on the European aviation network.
In addition, competent authorities may take due account of the following factors:
the health and safety of local residents living in the vicinity of the airport;
environmental sustainability, including interdependencies between noise and emissions;
any direct, indirect or catalytic employment and economic effects.

This timeline shows the different versions taken from EUR-Lex before exit day and during the implementation period as well as any subsequent versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation.
The dates for the EU versions are taken from the document dates on EUR-Lex and may not always coincide with when the changes came into force for the document.
For any versions created after the implementation period as a result of changes made by UK legislation the date will coincide with the earliest date on which the change (e.g an insertion, a repeal or a substitution) that was applied came into force.
