We provide expert advice on environmental noise and vibration to support planning and development projects of all scales. Our services include the measurement and assessment of transportation noise sources such as road traffic, railways and aircraft, as well as fixed plant and emerging technologies including air source heat pumps.
We undertake noise and vibration impact assessments ranging from standalone Noise Impact Assessments to full Environmental Statements for major and strategic developments. These commonly support applications involving new noise sources or new noise-sensitive receptors, including residential, education and healthcare uses.
We advise throughout the planning process, from outline and reserved matters applications to permitted development, prior approval and the discharge of planning conditions. Our expertise also extends to planning appeals, public inquiries and licensing, including advice on noise management for festivals, events and filming, ensuring compliance with planning policy and regulatory requirements.
