What are the immediate consequences of Schiphol airport exceeding noise pollution limits in 2023, and how does this impact residents?

Schiphol airport exceeded noise pollution limits over Uithoorn in 2023 by 20%, a breach the ILT chose not to sanction due to a "tolerance policy" pending new legislation. This policy, in place since 2015, allows exceeding limits if Schiphol compensates by diverting flights, a condition that was not fully met. The lack of legal limits enabled this breach.
