Noise Assessment

 

Applications for developments that raise issues of disturbance by noise to the occupants of nearby existing buildings, and for developments that are considered to be noise sensitive and which are close to existing sources of noise should be supported by a noise assessment prepared by a suitably qualified acoustician.

 

Further guidance is provided in Planning Policy Guidance 24: Planning and Noise (September 1994).
