How would you improve?
Why are the communities complaints on noise and environment issues being ignored before Feb 2017.
I am not interested in draft guidance , the re-routing of arrivals and departures from Luton, is simply a commercial decision at the expense of the health and well being of the residence of St.Albans.
The flights are 24 hours waking me regularly at 3 to 4 am in the morning . The route appears to shortcut over North St.albans accelerating hard, and is 7 days a week , on Sunday's at 6 am the flights are ever 3 minutes .
This has caused me and my family health problems and is effecting my running of a 100 employee Buisness , why should the commercial interest of the airport have precedence over my company ?

General observations
The tight flight path undertaken by the new gps guidance funnels all the departing flights over the heavily populated area of north St. Albans. This is unacceptable. It is a 24 hour,7 day a week noise nuisance which is blighting our lives for the benefit of the owners of Luton airport.

Tier 1a: Evidence of engagement
9. At certain stages in the process (starting with the development of design principles at Step 1b) the CAA will look for evidence of a two-way conversation to see that the sponsor has adequately engaged stakeholders. In paragraph C9 the CAA describes the evidence that we will look for as "detail of what sponsors have been told by their audiences; how they responded to this feedback; and how it has affected the proposals they are bringing forward". Has the CAA adequately detailed what we would expect to see to know that a two-way conversation has taken place?

Tier 1a: Categorisation of responses
12. In paragraphs 177 and C34-C36, and Table C2, we discuss the categorisation of consultation responses. The sponsor is required to sort consultation responses into two categories: i) those responses that have the potential to impact on the proposal because they include new information or ideas that the sponsor believes could lead to an adaptation in a lead design option or a new design option, and ii) those that do not. Is the CAA's explanation of the categorisation exercise and description of the categories sufficient?

Tier 1a: Options appraisal
13. In paragraph E25 and E34 the CAA states that methodologies for the various aspects of the options appraisal should be agreed between the CAA and the sponsor at an early stage in the process, on a case-by-case basis. This provides flexibility for different local circumstances. Does this approach strike the right balance between proportionality and consistency?

Tier 1a: Safety information
14. At each stage in the airspace change process that an options appraisal takes place, the sponsor will be required to submit a safety assessment. The sponsor will be required to provide a plain English summary of the safety assessment and the CAA will provide a plain English summary of its review (i.e. of the Letter of Acceptance, which forms the CAA’s review of the safety assessment) when it makes a decision. These documents will be available on the portal. Do you have any views on specific information that should be included and/or excluded from the plain English summary of the sponsor’s safety assessment and the CAA’s review?
Safety assessment
The number of planes on a tight turn over populated area constitutes a risk, and creates air pollution over residential areas.

Tier 1: Spaceflights
17. On 21 February 2017 the Government published the Draft Spaceflight Bill. As the foreword to the draft Bill sets out, “This legislation will see the Department for Transport and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, the UK Space Agency, the Civil Aviation Authority and the Health and Safety Executive working together to regulate and oversee commercial spaceflight operations in the UK.” Do you have any views on whether this process could be used or adapted to suit future airspace change proposals to enable spaceflights, as anticipated in the Draft Spaceflight Bill?
Spaceflight
The bill must limit flights from 12.00 midnight until 6.00 am over towns and cities , even if this expends the length of the flight , which is only a commercial decision.
Tier 2: Permanent and planned redistribution
18. The Government proposals talk about a Tier 2 change as one which is likely to alter traffic patterns below 7,000 feet over a populated area and which therefore could have a potential noise impact for those on the ground. The key requirement is that the air navigation service provider must demonstrate that it has assessed the noise impact of the proposed change and engaged with affected communities as appropriate.

Tier 2 reasons
It is plain that no consultation has taken place in the st.albans area , in fact ignoring complaints prior to Feb 2017 . Is testimony that consultation is not taking place.
19. The CAA’s process for Tier 1a changes is scaled into ‘Levels’, based on the altitude-based priorities in the Government’s Air Navigation Guidance (i.e. where noise impacts are to be prioritised or considered alongside carbon emissions, a more demanding consultation is required). Could the future Tier 2 process also be scaled?

24. In relation to mitigating the impacts of Tier 3 changes, our draft guidance says that the focus should be on exploring the options for mitigating the change through two-way dialogue, because of the local and often incremental nature of Tier 3 changes. Does the guidance need to give more detail?
