EN11: Development and Noise
The Council will seek to minimise the adverse impact of noise by:
- requiring developments that generate unacceptable noise levels to include measures to reduce noise to an acceptable level,
- requiring appropriate noise attenuation measures where this can overcome unacceptable impacts on residential and other noise sensitive development proposed in areas with high noise levels. Development will otherwise be refused,
and in the case of development close to Heathrow by:
- refusing new residential development where aircraft noise levels are at or exceed 66Leq; except in the case of the one-for-one replacement of dwellings
- requiring appropriate attenuation measures for development between 60 and 65Leq
