Over the next few weeks development work is being undertaken to provide even more insight and free content regarding all things postcode and Aircraft noise.
The new algorithms, visualisations and Web Site implementation rollout is as follows.
| Description | Planned date | Status |
| Removal of all references to pre-covid 2019 datasets. Full Assessments referring to 93 days in 2019 will be replaced with 31 Day Assessment for August 2023. This is because aircraft traffic has recovered to pre COVID levels. All new Full Assessment requests will now analyse August 2023 aircraft movements against the current 31 day period. | Mid of Apr’24 | LIVE |
| Introduction of the 2 minute Aircraft Postcode Assessment. The 2 minute Postcode Assessment is a free of charge offering that informs the requestor the probability of a pre-Assessed postcode being impacted by aircraft noise both at night, i.e. sleep disturbance, and during the day, i.e. loss of amenity. | Mid May’24 | LIVE |
