It is positioned on the C255 some twelve kilometres east of Hexham and six kilometres to the west of Prudhoe (Map 1). The village is located in Stocksfield with Mickley Ward. Its centre is at National Grid reference NZ 038601. Conservation areas are ‘areas of special architectural or historic interest, the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance’.1 They are designated by the local planning authority using local criteria. Conservation areas are about character and appearance, which can derive from many factors including individual buildings, building © Crown Copyright LA100018249 groups and their relationship with open spaces, architectural Map 1: Location of Broomley detailing, materials, views, colours, landscaping and street furniture. Character can also draw on more abstract notions such as sounds, Broomley Conservation Area was designated in April 2002 in local environmental conditions and historical changes.

  • Newcastle International Airport Noise Action Plan Approved February 2019
    Newcastle International Airport Noise Action Plan Approved February 2019 01 Noise Action Plan A Strategic Direction for Noise Management. Foreword We recognise the important role Newcastle International Airport plays for the North East region. The recently published draft Masterplan presents our strategy for future growth, to make the Airport better connected, and have an even greater impact on the prosperity of our region. However, it is also important to recognise that growth of the Airport must be carried out in a sustainable manner, to minimise the impact of Airport operations on the local communities. This is a challenge and the Noise Action Plan (NAP) provides an opportunity to outline a strategic direction for noise management over the next 5 years. The NAP is a working document and as such, will be reviewed annually and new actions considered if appropriate. Nick Jones, Chief Executive The success of this plan, which aims to limit and, where possible, reduce the impact of aircraft noise on the surrounding communities, will only be achieved through collaboration with key partners such as Sustainable Aviation, Local Communities and Airspace Users. I am confident that we can achieve the actions contained in the NAP and deliver improvements. 02 03 Noise Action Plan Contents 1.
