Noise issues are amongst the most frequent complaints received by Local Authority Environmental Health Officers. A number of legislative and regulatory control measures have been introduced in response to this,
including significant new requirements to demonstrate noise prevention under IPPC. Noise assessments may therefore be required for a variety of reasons, including:
IPC and IPPC Applications and liaison with regulators;
Planning applications;
Demonstration of compliance with conditions of planning consent;
Compliance with corporate environmental standards;
Investigation of nuisance complaints;
Environmental Impact Assessment;
Building façade and glazing performance;
Control techniques;
Expert witness and Public Inquiry evidence; and
Occupational Noise (Noise at Work Regulation).
