New Build Developments

New residential development may also need to be considered in terms of noise impact on existing residents and sensitive premises in the area.

You may already have been granted planning consent but planning conditions have been imposed related to noise. We are very experienced at providing the appropriate information to ensure there are no problems in getting the conditions discharged and ensuring there are no costly delays.

In response to our instruction we will provide a technical report fully considering  your proposed development, ensuring you will meet the necessary acoustic requirements. Residential noise survey reports include advice on the layout and orientation of the proposed dwellings, acoustic screening and a detailed sound insulation scheme for the dwellings (including facade, roof, glazing and ventilation specifications).
