What is the aim of the Noise Insulation Grant Scheme?
A1. The aim of the Noise Insulation Grant Scheme (NIGS) is to give direct assistance to residents whose properties lie within certain eligibility areas around military airfields and are subject to the most disturbance from the noise generated by the movement of aircraft. The eligibility areas are identified by noise contours which are defined from scientific measurements of the noise environment around the airfields.
