This blight scheme is designed to protect local property values in areas forecast to fall within the 66 dBA noise contour once the third runway is operational. It is designed to ensure that properties in the area can be bought and sold at normal market rates.

When we announce our intention to apply for planning permission, the scheme will allow property owners who wish to move and have been unable to sell their property for a price within 15% of the market value to sell their property to BAA at an unblighted price.

If homeowners have been able to sell within 15% of the market value BAA will pay up to 5% of their sale price as a contribution to the costs of moving.

Finally, if we receive planning permission for a new runway, once we announce our intention to begin construction, the scheme will enable property owners to sell their property to BAA Heathrow at an unblighted price.

If you have any questions about the noise insulation scheme, please call us on 020 8745 4929.
