It is needed to assess the existing noise profile of a site and predict how new development might affect the current situation. The local Planning Authority and Environmental agency often request Noise impact assessment for various projects.
Following instruction a member of our team will conduct a site visit. Monitoring equipment will be installed securely at your site. The equipment is left for at least 24 hours to gather monitoring data (sometimes a longer period is required). We will uninstall and collect the equipment after this time period. The data is then used to produce a report. The report is then sent to the client. The report normally includes the results of the assessment and mitigation measures where appropriate.
Once all the required information is collected we will produce a report to support your planning application.
From residential developments, industrial projects to traffic and leisure activities, we assess all noise sources to confirm that they meet the Local Authority's requirements allowing you to get planning permission. Enviropass are experts in understanding and implementing the BS4142 and BS8233 methodology.
Common sources of noise include:
Air conditioning units
Generators

Getting your scheme Noise compliant from outset
The Professional Practice Guidance on Planning and Noise (ProPG) is a collaborative document that was launched in 2017 by the Institute of Acoustics (IOA), Association of Noise Consultants (ANC), and the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health (CIEH). Its primary objective is to promote better acoustic design for new residential development and safeguard individuals from the detrimental effects of noise. The ProPG aims to achieve this goal by encouraging meticulous, thoughtful, and forward-thinking design, without increasing costs or complicating planning procedures. The document is aligned with the government's policies outlined in the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the Noise Policy Statement for England (NPSE).
Our team can work with you from the outset of your proposal to meet these requirements.
We can help ensure your proposal is not refused due to issues with adverse noise.
