Planning & Noise

National noise policy for planning purposes is set-out in PPG 24 ‘Planning and Noise’. This planning policy guidance note provides local authorities in England with advice on the preparation of development plans and the determination of planning applications where noise is a material consideration. It also provides guidance on the assessment of ambient noise at the sites of proposed residential development, as well as the assessment of noise from new and potentially noisy developments on existing sensitive receivers and resources.

Southdowns has prepared numerous technical reports in support of successful planning applications for residential, industrial, commercial and leisure developments of various sizes, as well as many road and railway schemes.
