This has become more and more of an issue as I am talking to people.

The proposal is to relocate the stacking area for aircraft to Stansted from its current location around Royston to an area which very much includes Linton but is centred more over West Wratting way.

We have been informed at Parish Council that current stacking procedures insist there is a minimum ceiling for the aircraft of 7,000 ft, but that the proposal for the new location is that this minimum ceiling will be reduced to 4,000 ft due to the stacking area being nearer to the airport. It is unclear just how much Linton will be affected by these proposed changes, and also whether Linton is directly on a flight path or not.

But this will obviously create noise pollution that we do not have at this moment, and we have been informed that this level of noise could be in the region of 60 to 70 decibels.

I will update this page as soon as I get more definite information.
