Mr. Kenny Jacobs:

I do not think earth berms require planning permission, which is why it was not in the application. They are something that can mitigate noise. It depends, as there are many factors to it, and it is not as simple as building a mound and the noise will go away. We are actively looking at earth berms as part of the overall noise programme we will have. They would work in certain places. We have earth berms in place. We will look at having more to see how it is evolving whereby we can implement them if we think they will take away noise.
