Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise

The Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise (ICCAN) was an advisory non-departmental public body of the Government of the United Kingdom with responsibility for civil aviation noise, and how it affects communities.

[1] The stated objectives of the commission were to "increase trust, transparency and clarity in the aviation noise debate", to "promote consistency, responsibility and accountability within the industry and beyond", and to establish its authority and credibility as a body.

[2] ICCAN was formed in November 2018, in order to act as an impartial and independent voice on aviation noise and how it affects communities.

Sam Hartley became the Secretary to the commission on 7 January 2019,[3] previously serving as the Deputy Director of Devolution Strategy for the Cabinet Office and Secretary to the Boundary Commission for England.

ICCAN's job was to make recommendations to the Government's approach to how aviation noise could be managed, and how its reporting and management of aviation noise could be made more open and transparent.
