Noise Impact Assessments

Noise impact assessments are typically required for new loud noise sources, or, for locating new noise-sensitive receptors near existing loud noise sources. However, it is at the discretion of the local planning authority whether a noise impact assessment is required for any development.  

CDC can assist with the following: 

  • Assess the operational noise (music, plant, traffic, patron noise, etc.) from any new development which might impact existing noise sensitive receptors 
  • Advise on suitable noise mitigation required to achieve acceptable internal ambient noise levels within new noise sensitive receptors 

  • Liaise with the local planning authority to agree an acceptable level of impact, smoothing the planning application process 

Feasibility Studies to support site suitability

Determining site suitability is a critical step in project planning. We conduct feasibility studies to assess environmental noise and vibration impacts.

Our services include:

  • Site surveys and noise mapping
  • Vibration impact assessments
  • Detailed feasibility reports to support planning decisions

Sound & Vibration Assessments to support planning

Effective planning requires thorough sound and vibration assessments. We provide detailed assessments to support your planning applications.

Our services include:

  • Noise and vibration surveys for planning support
  • Impact assessments and mitigation strategies
  • Detailed reporting for planning submissions

Ongoing support for operational buildings

Ensuring long-term acoustic comfort and compliance requires ongoing support.

We offer a range of services for operational buildings, including:

  • Long-term noise and vibration monitoring
  • Compliance testing and reporting
  • Comfort studies to ensure occupant satisfaction
