Court awards noise damage compensation and necessary renovation costs to homeowners affected by airport noise restrictions.

The court ordered the defendant company to pay 140,962.09 PLN to the plaintiffs, who are homeowners in an airport noise zone. The plaintiffs argued that airport activity and the creation of a restricted-use zone caused property value loss and necessitated expensive acoustic renovations. The defendant contended that the zone's introduction did not automatically create damage and that the plaintiffs should have already undertaken renovations when the zone was established. The court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, finding that the noise violations and the resulting need for specific acoustic improvements constituted compensable property damage.
