You can read more about the role of Airport Consultative Committees here, but the gist of it seems to be that this body is a way for neighbours to have an input; as the site says, as well as any benefits: [Airports] are also a source of noise and other pollution and they can be deleterious in the wider environment. So for some of their neighbours, and those who serve or represent them, they can be a mixed blessing.

Along with the representation of passenger interests, this is the key role of an Airport Consultative Committee.
