If transport noise pollution is disrupting your home life, you may be able to get help with paying for soundproofing with one of these schemes.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Constant exposure to noise pollution can have a negative effect on sleep, health, and wellbeing, it has even been linked to serious health problems like stroke and heart attack.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019re suffering from excessive noise pollution at home because of a nearby road or air traffic, then you may be able to receive financial help towards the cost of having sound insulation installed in your home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Noise pollution from Highways England roads<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If the rumbling sound of traffic from a Highways England road is affecting you at home, you may be eligible to apply for sound insulation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Highways England noise insulation scheme<\/a>is available to properties that lie within a Highways England \u201cNoise Important Area\u201d that contains fewer than 10 properties. <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u201cNoise Important Areas\u201d are the areas that experiences the highest levels of noise from Highways England roads.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you meet the scheme\u2019s criteria then your property will be assessed and Highways England contractors will carry out the soundproofing work for you, it is not a grant scheme.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Noise pollution from airports<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Most airports have noise limits and restrictions on flight paths, to minimise noise and disruption to residents living nearby. Despite these restrictions, noise from aircraft can still be very disrupting and even damaging to the health of those living nearby.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Because of this, UK airports run grant schemes to help those affected by noise pollution to soundproof their homes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The airport in question will usually have a boundary in place that identifies the properties that are eligible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Contact your local airport by telephone or check their website to find out details about their scheme and whether you are eligible to help with soundproofing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
