The Heathrow Airport–London Noise Insulation Grants Scheme 1989
The Airports Policy White Paper (Cmnd 9542), published in June 1985, committed the Government to reviewing the Heathrow Airport–London Noise Insulation Grants Scheme 1980 which, as varied, applied to dwellings the construction of which was completed before 1st April 1980 and to insulation works carried out to such dwellings before 1st April 1985. That review has now been completed. The findings indicate that some small extensions are needed to the boundaries of the previous Scheme. This Scheme implements the findings of the review so as to meet the continuing need for domestic sound insulation in the vicinity of Heathrow Airport. The conditions of eligibility and the specifications for insulation works are in other respects the same as in the previous Scheme. The maximum amount of grant payable has been adjusted to take account of increased costs since 1980.
