Environmental Noise Assessment

What is an Environmental Noise Assessment?

An Environmental Noise Assessment (sometimes referred to as a Noise Impact Assessment) may be required during the planning stages of a development to assess the potential impact of noise on new or existing developments close to proposed new works. The results from the assessments will aid designers in ensuring that any project – whether it be a transport system, residential or leisure development – is appropriately sited to minimize noise problems.

Environmental Noise Assessments are divided into a number of different categories, dependent on whether they are to assist with new planning applications or are to assess existing noise levels. The range of assessments C80 currently offer are:

  • Calculation of Road Traffic Noise (CTRN)
  • Calculation of Railway Noise (CRN)
  • CTRN and CRN planning Guidance for New Housing Developments (ProPG)
  • Industrial and Commercial Sound (BS 4142:2014)
  • Noise from Mineral Extraction
  • Construction Noise (BS 5228)
  • Wind Farm Noise (BS 4142)
  • Neighbour Noise Assessment
  • Entertainment Noise Assessmen

When is the best time to get an Environmental Noise Assessment?

Depending on your required service, assessments can be done at a variety of stages. The key assessments for proposed new developments such as CTRN or CRN should be done at the planning stage as the results could influence the layout of the dwellings on the site.

Assessments for new industrial and commercial builds can also be done at planning stages as the noise from the units can affect planning. If an industrial unit is being extended or developed, the assessments should again be carried out at planning stage.

Further assessments are available to measure existing noise to ascertain whether it is of a level that is acceptable in the location of the assessment.
