1. Introduction
The Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006 (“the 2006 Regulations”) require the Scottish Government and some airport operators to meet a number of statutory requirements to bring about measures which are intended to avoid, prevent, or reduce, on a prioritised area basis, the harmful effects, including annoyance, due to the exposure to environmental noise. This public consultation applies to Scotland only and seeks the views of those interested in environmental noise pollution.
