Applications for grants for the insulation of private houses against serious noise problems arising from aircraft operations or other causes will be considered under the terms of the existing scheme of reconstruction grants. The maximum State grant under this scheme is £200. As noise problems other than those created by aircraft operations will be considered for grant purposes there is no area limitation.
