OE5 Siting of Noise-Sensitive Developments

Proposals for the siting of noise sensitive developments such as family housing, schools or certain forms of commercial activity where the occupiers may suffer from noise or vibration will not be permitted in areas which are, or are expected to become, subject to unacceptable levels of noise or vibration. Where development is acceptable in principle, it will still be necessary to establish that the proposed building or use can be sited, designed, insulated or otherwise protected from external noise or vibration sources to appropriate national and local standards. Account will be taken of any changes likely to occur in noise levels within a 10-15 year period following the date of submission of any application for planning permission.
