Abstract
In the future, Lelystad Airport is planned to be used as a wingman for Schiphol Airport. This means that Lelystad Airport will host flights for holiday destinations. However, because of the limited airspace in the Netherlands, aircraft will fly at a lower altitude than normal. These are called the low flying routes. These low flying routes will influence the living environment and well-being of affected residents. This thesis seeks an answer on what social impacts these low flying routes will have on the residents of Gelderland and Overijssel. Research shows that it is difficult to measure which social impacts there will be on the affected area. On the one hand, Lelystad Airport complies with all the laws and therefore any social impacts that might occur will be in accordance with legal requirements. On the other hand, affected residents state that they are afraid that they can’t enjoy the quietness and peace anymore because of noise pollution. This is combined with the fear that residential devaluation will happen in the future due to the increased noise pollution. In terms of positive effects, these will only occur in the area where Lelystad Airport is located, namely in Flevoland.
