Sound Insulation Grant Scheme

London Stansted provides mitigation measures for aircraft noise impacts in the local community by the provision of acoustic insulation for properties. This includes:

• Offering households subject to high levels of noise (69dBA Leq or more) assistance with the costs of relocating; and
• Offering acoustic insulation (applied to residential properties) to other noise-sensitive buildings that remain in education, healthcare, worship or community use that are exposed to medium to high levels of noise (57dBA Leq or more).

London Stansted has provided in excess of £1.4 million of noise insulation since the scheme began in 2004. With the recent expansion of the scheme an additional 800 properties may be eligible for a sound insulation grant.

For further information on the scheme and to check if your property is eligible, please see our brochure or email community@stanstedairport.com.
