Planning & Noise

Planning authorities often require that a noise impact assessment be carried out for a development as part of the planning application. The assessment could be to ensure that a new noisy development will not have a significant noise impact on the surrounding environment or a that a new noise sensitive development has been designed with suitable noise mitigation measures in place to control against noise pollution from existing source, e.g. roads or railways.

AWN's acoustics team have considerable experience in the preparation of noise impact assessments as part of planning applications. Our experience ranges from small developments seeking permission from a local authority to large strategic infrastructure projects requiring input to an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and attendance at an oral hearing.
