We have listed below some of the specifications you may need to comply with
- BS 4142 – Rating of industrial noise, required to investigate the impact of a noise source that is located or is proposed to be located close to any residential dwellings. You may be required to carry out a day time or a night time BS 4142 noise assessment
- PPG 24 – Environmental Planning Guidance, required to investigate the suitability of land for the building of residential housing (or change of use), taking into account any existing noise source such as Roads, Motorways, Railways or nearby factory workings etc. Noise testing is normally carried out over a 24 hour representative period.
