D.ES9 Noise and vibration
Development is required to:
- use the most appropriate, layout, orientation, design and use of buildings to minimise noise and vibration impacts
- identify/outline mitigating measures to manage noise and vibration from new development, including during the construction phase
- separate noise-sensitive development from existing operational noise, and
- provide a noise assessment where noise-generating development or noise-sensitive development is proposed.
Where new noise-sensitive land uses are proposed in proximity to existing noise-generating uses, development is required to robustly demonstrate how conflict with existing uses will be avoided, through mitigation measures.
Development is required to demonstrate that the level of noise emitted from any new heating or ventilation plant will be below the background level by at least 10dBA.
