Service Overview

Broodbakker Acoustic Consultants Limited provide professional noise impact assessment services in Nottingham. We have spent the last 18 years assisting local authorities, businesses, and individuals manage noise-related problems affecting either their properties and operations or those who are affected by the noise e.g. residents.

A noise impact assessment evaluates the existing or likely impact from potential noise generation by activities from commercial/industrial uses on buildings used for residential purposes. Here are some examples of activities that would require a noise impact assessment in Nottingham:

• Planning the development of new residential dwellings near sources of environmental noise (e.g. transportation) or neighbourhood noise (e.g. industrial/commercial sites, entertainment etc)
• Planning the development of new commercial/industrial, recycling or other noise generating sources (e.g. solar farms)
• Planning the development of new site extensions, builds, renovations, etc. that could either affect or be affected by noise
• Assisting employers to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005

Our noise impact assessments are tailored to the specific circumstances of each case. This could include the evaluation of activities or processes that produce noise on your property, including vehicle movements, industrial equipment, machinery operations, and social communications. For example, based on our findings, we’ll recommend sustainable and effective noise reduction strategies to reduce the noise and lower its impact on the surrounding environment.

Broodbakker Acoustic Consultants Limited drafts and develops noise management plans that can be adopted to meet the requirements of the Environment Agency in relation to the demonstration of compliance with an environmental permit. Our primary goal is to ensure your compliance with local statutes so that your neighbours or the public are not disturbed by noise generated on your property.

It is always better to request noise impact assessments during the planning phases of development projects. That way, you won’t unknowingly violate local ordinances related to noise generation in Nottingham. Our team will ensure you comply with the authorities (e.g. planning conditions) from start to finish.
