MIN23 Schemes for Mineral Extraction, Mineral Processing, Landfill, Waste Handling or Treatment Adjacent to Noise-Sensitive Locations – Noise Monitoring and Control Requirements

Schemes for mineral extraction, mineral processing, landfill, waste handling or treatment must demonstrate at all adjacent noise sensitive locations that:

  • The impact of noise is mitigated to the satisfaction of the minerals planning authority having regard to the noise limits specified in MPG11 and local circumstances; and
  • Any permitted operations will be subject to an independent noise monitoring and control scheme throughout their duration, and the results submitted to the local planning authority.

Where appropriate the minerals planning authority will seek an agreement to achieve the aims of the policy.
