how a planning noise job runs

Planning noise work starts by understanding the proposal, the site and the relevant policy context. We then gather the right level of evidence, assess the likely effects and develop practical mitigation where it is required.

baseline noise survey

A survey designed around the site, proposal and assessment requirements, undertaken over a representative period where practicable.

assessment & modelling

Assessment against the standards, guidance and local policy relevant to the proposal. 3D modelling is used where it provides meaningful additional evidence.

report & condition discharge

A clear technical report for the planning submission or condition discharge, with responses to reasonable follow-up queries where included in the agreed scope.
