  "text": "(This note is not part of the Scheme)\nThe Airports Policy White Paper (Cmnd 9542), published in June 1985, committed the Government to reviewing the Gatwick Airport—London Noise Insulation Grants Scheme 1980 which, as varied, applied to dwellings the construction of which was completed before 1st April 1980 and to insulation works carried out to such dwellings before 1st April 1985. The review has now been completed. The findings indicate that some small extensions are needed to the boundaries of the previous scheme. This Scheme implements the findings of the review, to meet the continuing need for domestic sound insulation in the vicinity of Gatwick Airport. The conditions of eligibility and the specifications for insulation work are in other respects the same as in the previous Scheme. The maximum amount of grant payable has been adjusted to take account of increased costs since 1980.\nThis Scheme requires Gatwick Airport Limited to pay grants towards the cost of insulation. It comes into force on 1st April 1989 and relates to dwellings which are wholly or partly situated within the area designated on a map deposited at the office of the Department Record Officer at Romney House, 43 Marsham Street, London, SW1, a certified copy of which will be open to inspection free of charge at all reasonable hours in Room S8/08, 2 Marsham Street, London SW1. Copies will similarly be available at the offices of Gatwick Airport Limited, at seventh floor, South Office Block, Gatwick Airport and at the offices of BAA plc at 130, Wilton Road, London SW1V 1LQ.\nThe principal changes made in relation to the previous Scheme are:\n(1) This Scheme will be administered by Gatwick Airport Limited, not by the local authorities in the area covered by the Scheme.\n(2) The closing date for lodging applications in 31st March 1991 and the insulation work must be completed before 30th September 1992.\n(3) This Scheme applies to a relatively small area beyond the boundary of the previous Scheme, within which it appears to the Secretary of State that dwellings require protection from noise and vibration attributable to the aerodrome.",
