When applying for planning from your local authority it is important that you understand the process. This process does vary slightly between local authorities however it is often the case that the local planning authority will need noise to be fully considered as part of the application process. The need to assess the noise impact of a development is becoming more and more essential when considering the ever increasingly busy and noisy world we live in.

Generally, proposed developments can be divided into two categories; Noise Generating Developments or Noise Sensitive Developments. Noise Generating Developments include proposals such as industrial developments, installation of air conditioning or external plant and entertainment premises such as bars and clubs among others. Typically when considering noise-generating developments the local authority requires an assessment of the potential noise impact the development may cause on existing dwellings or sensitive receptors in the area. This is typically undertaken via a BS4142 or Entertainment Noise Assessment. Noise-sensitive developments, on the other hand, include proposals such as residential dwellings schools and libraries. In this scenario, the applicant would be required to assess the potential noise impact of existing noise sources in the area on the proposed new development and its future occupants. This form of assessment especially for residential dwellings is called a BS8233 Assessment.
