Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035

Representation ID: 224

Received: 19/01/2019

Respondent: Iain Burgess

Representation Summary:

As someone who lives 800m from Goodwood motor circuit I am pleased to see that the noise report undertaken by MAS Environmental Ltd and mentioned in section 4.110 identified "the potential for noise disturbance arising from activities at the Motor Circuit and Airfield to be a significant issue beyond the 400m buffer." This is indeed my experience from living here for nearly 20 years. The noise is heavily wind/weather dependent from the motor circuit, and the noise from aircraft, especially helicopters, which generate downward noise more than aeroplanes, can be significant well beyond the 400m buffer.
