Service Overview

A noise impact assessment measures the potential noise climate from a planning and development project on a particular property. The assessor identifies and evaluates the noise sources and their impact on the surrounding environment. If the noise is likely to cause adverse or even significant adversei mpact, then specific mitigation measures will need to be implemented to reduce the noise. Otherwise, it is possible planning permission may be refused on noise grounds and there are several planning and noise policys to consider to satisfy the local authority the development will be acceptable and sustainable.

Broodbakker Acoustic Consultants Limited offers professional and accurate noise impact assessment services to developers, individuals, businesses, and local authorities in Sheffield. Our job is to assess the current noise level at the planned development site and predict the potential impact of the noise generated once development begins.

We will look at the most common noise sources on the premises and evaluate how much they will impact the surrounding environment. These noise sources may include:

• Industrial activities
• Animals
• Vehicle traffic and movement
• Construction work
• Crowds of people
• Aircraft landing and flying
• Machinery operations

All new developments that could affect, or be affected by noise, are likely to require a noise impact assessment. In addition, all businesses must have noise impact assessments whenever they plan to open for the first time or extend their existing working hours where those activities may unreasaonbly impact on local residents. This is because the local authorities want to ensure that all noise-generating activities on your property don’t negatively impact other local residents or businesses, especially if those activities are going to take place at new hours of the day or night.
