The airport authority for Dublin Airport (daa) has submitted a planning application (F23A/0781) to the planning authority of Fingal Council that seeks permission for development at the airport that includes an increase in the permitted passenger capacity at the airport from 32 to 40 million passengers per year and the provision of airport infrastructure.
ANCA has carried out an assessment of this application and has identified measures to reduce the noise impact of this development within surrounding homes. As part of the assessment, ANCA also amended the noise abatement objective for the airport (NAO) and carried out environmental assessments of the proposed measures. The amended objective seeks to further reduce the number of people affected by annoyance and sleep disturbance from aircraft noise.
A public consultation is now open and ANCA invites submissions and observations on the draft measures, amended NAO, and environmental assessments until the 3rd September 2026.
