ANNEX VI DATA TO BE SENT TO THE COMMISSION

1.1.

A concise description of the agglomeration: location, size, number of inhabitants.

1.2.

The responsible authority.

1.3.

Noise-control programmes that have been carried out in the past and noise-measures in place.

1.4.

The computation or measurement methods that have been used.

1.5.

The estimated number of people (in hundreds) living in dwellings that are exposed to each of the following bands of values of Lden in dB 4 m above the ground on the most exposed façade: 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, > 75, separately for noise from road, rail and air traffic, and from industrial sources. The figures must be rounded to the nearest hundred (e.g. 5 200 = between 5 150 and 5 249 ; 100 = between 50 and 149; 0 = less than 50).

In addition it should be stated, where appropriate and where such information is available, how many persons in the above categories live in dwellings that have:

An indication should also be given on how major roads, major railways and major airports as defined in Article 3 contribute to the above.

1.6.

The estimated total number of people (in hundreds) living in dwellings that are exposed to each of the following bands of values of Lnight in dB 4 m above the ground on the most exposed façade: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, > 70, separately for road, rail and air traffic and for industrial sources. These data may also be assessed for value band 45-49 before the date laid down in Article 11(1).

In addition it should be stated, where appropriate and where such information is available, how many persons in the above categories live in dwellings that have:

It must also be indicated how major roads, major railways and major airports contribute to the above.

1.7.

In case of graphical presentation, strategic maps must at least show the 60, 65, 70 and 75 dB contours.

1.8.

A summary of the action plan covering all the important aspects referred to in Annex V, not exceeding ten pages in length.

2.1.

A general description of the roads, railways or airports: location, size, and data on the traffic.

2.2.

A characterisation of their surroundings: agglomerations, villages, countryside or otherwise, information on land use, other major noise sources.

2.3.

Noise-control programmes that have been carried out in the past and noise-measures in place.

2.4.

The computation or measurement methods that have been used.

2.5.

The estimated total number of people (in hundreds) living outside agglomerations in dwellings that are exposed to each of the following bands of values of Lden in dB 4 m above the ground and on the most exposed façade: 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, > 75.

In addition it should be stated, where appropriate and where such information is available, how many persons in the above categories live in dwellings that have:

2.6.

The estimated total number of people (in hundreds) living outside agglomerations in dwellings that are exposed to each of the following bands of values of Lnight in dB 4 m above the ground and on the most exposed façade: 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, > 70. These data may also be assessed for value band 45-49 before the date laid down in Article 11(1).

In addition it should be stated, where appropriate and where such information is available, how many persons in the above categories live in dwellings that have:

2.7.

The total area (in km2) exposed to values of Lden higher than 55, 65 and 75 dB respectively. The estimated total number of dwellings (in hundreds) and the estimated total number of people (in hundreds) living in each of these areas must also be given. Those figures must include agglomerations.

The 55 and 65 dB contours must also be shown on one or more maps that give information on the location of villages, towns and agglomerations within those contours.

2.8.

A summary of the action plan covering all the important aspects referred to in Annex V, not exceeding ten pages in length.
