Abstract
In 2007, the airport authority for Dublin Airport (DAA) was granted planning permission to build a new runway. This permission included several planning conditions, including operating restrictions during the night-time due to noise considerations. The plans were then put on hold due to the economic downturn, but in 2016, with increasing passenger numbers, the plans were revived. In the intervening years, the planning and legislative environment related to aircraft noise changed in Ireland, particularly with the implementation of Regulation 598/2014 and the establishment of the Aircraft Noise Competent Authority (ANCA). Then, in December 2020 the DAA submitted a planning application to the Planning Authority seeking to amend those 2007 conditions associated with night-time operating restrictions. The application was referred to ANCA for an assessment of the associated noise impact, and in November 2021 they issued a draft regulatory decision report. This report proposes a number of mitigation measures for Dublin airport, including the introduction of a noise quota system. This paper reviews the proposed noise quota system.
