Industrial noise
We aim to reduce noise from new industrial premises by placing conditions on planning permissions where they are required. Older plant and machinery, however, can often be the cause of considerable nuisance, resulting in significant noise pollution close to people's homes throughout the day and night.
We can investigate the source of the problem and arrange for measurements to be carried out where necessary. Noise from such machinery during the night has a greater potential to cause disturbance and remedial measures to reduce the noise may be necessary. A notice will be served if the source is found to generate an unreasonable level of noise.
