Aerodrome Noise Exposure Plan (Zonage)

The EPB is an urban planning document setting out the conditions of land use exposed to aircraft noise nuisances. The aim of the EPB is to prohibit or limit constructions in order not to increase the populations subject to nuisances. It anticipates the development of aviation activity, the expansion of infrastructure and the evolution of air traffic procedures by 15/20 years. It includes a presentation report and a 1/25 000 scale map showing areas exposed to noise. The significance of the exhibition is indicated by the letters A, B, C, or D. — Zone A: Very high noise exposure — Zone B: Exposure to strong noise — Zone C: Exposure to moderate noise — Area D: Low noise exposure (only for some aerodromes)
