    At DAA Group we specialise in BS4142 noise impact assessments and have provided many clients with reports that successfully expedited their planning applications. BS4142 is the official document which describes how a measurement and assessment of industrial noise sources should normally be undertaken in the UK. A BS4142 planning condition is often on the list of approval requirements for planning applications which will introduce new noise sources to a location close to residential accommodation. The purpose of the resulting noise assessment report is to clearly determine if noise complaints are a likely result of the new noise source. In most cases where the proposal will lead to noise complaints, your acoustic consultant will be able to specify mitigation to enable the scheme to proceed. Often by re-positioning or enclosing the noise source. Our consultants are well versed in the requirements of a BS4142 noise impact assessment and report to address the requirements of the planners. We offer a fast turn around time, provide sensible advice and a cost effective service.

    WHAT WE DO

    The process of undertaking a Commercial/ Industrial noise assessment generally includes the following steps:
    • 1

      We will travel to the site and carry out a 24hr environmental noise survey to assess the level of Background Noise of the surrounding area. We will carry out all noise measurements in accordance with the provisions of BS7445 “Description and Measurement of Environmental Noise.” The measurements made will include both dBA and octave band noise levels including Leq, Lmax, L10 and L90 parameters. During the survey duration, we will require unrestricted access to the site.
    • 2

      Review of Plans & Proposed Plant Details: We will review details of the Plant Location and the Nearest Noise Sensitive Window and gather the information of the manufacturers Sound data.
    • 3

      Using measured data from the Environmental Survey and the Plant details, we will carry out BS4142:2014 calculations and mitigate the proposed plant noise to comply with guidelines.
    • 4

      We will provide a technical report for submission to your local authority to support your planning application
