The attached documents form a series of Advice Notes written jointly by the AOA and GAAC and supported by the CAA. The purpose of these is to inform those who are considering applying for Planning Permission, of the potential implications if the proposed development is located within the safeguarded area around an aerodrome or airfield.

The first Note in the series explains what safeguarding is, the process that will be followed, and highlights the relevant issues. The Later Notes in the series cover a number of the issues that will be addressed in the safeguarding of an aerodrome and provide some advice on how potential conflicts with safeguarding requirements can be overcome.
