Planning departments regularly request noise impact assessments be provided in support of any new planning application and are within their rights to withhold planning consent until they see noise impacts have been addressed up front.
Noise impact assessments provide local authorities with confirmation that the application will not have any detrimental impact on its surrounding neighbourhood amenity, or that the site under application will not be affected by existing noisy premises.
We offer a complete assessment of planning applications and the surrounding environment, and expert advice on any sources of noise that need to be mitigated or reduced. We can also provide evidence to support compliance with existing planning noise conditions.
A full report is included which applicants can submit in support of their application, proving they have sought professional advice and understand their obligations.
Due to the time spent employed in planning and noise within local Councils in Scotland and Northern Ireland, we are able to offer specialist knowledge on the requirements that local authorities have when considering noise control measures for clients. This removes planning delays and speeds up the time taken to gain planning consent.
