The Minister's reply to me suggests that following a request for information, the competent authority will have to respond. The point I am making, however, is that the person on whom there is a noise impact may request a review but paragraph (b) says that the competent authority "may, at its discretion" comply or, read another way, choose to ignore a request for a review. I am not just talking about a request for information but an actual review of the noise impact of the mitigation measures.
