DM Policy 26 Noise and vibration
The Council will require:
- noise and/or vibration generating development or equipment to be located in the Strategic Industrial Locations and Local Employment Locations as shown on the Local Plan Policies Map
- new noise sensitive developments are to be located away from existing or planned sources of noise pollution, except if it can be demonstrated through design or mitigation that:
- internal and external noise levels can be satisfactorily controlled and managed by the noise sensitive development; and
- there will be no adverse impact on the continued operation of any existing or proposed business or operation.
- a Noise and Vibration Assessment for noise and/or vibration generating development or equipment and new noise sensitive development, where appropriate, to identify issues and attenuation measures, prepared by a qualified acoustician. Where development is permitted, conditions may be attached to the planning permission to ensure effective noise insulation or other mitigation measures are undertaken.
