Noise Pollution
Noise Pollution
Complaints regarding industrial, commercial and domestic noise are investigated by officers of the Environmental Health section. Where a noise nuisance is established action can be taken under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 or the Control of Pollution Act 1974 in order to mitigate the noise nuisance concerned.
Most noise complaints tend to be resolved informally and formal action is considered rare. Where a complaint is complex and detailed monitoring using specialised equipment is necessary, the investigation can become time consuming and complex.
Complaints and further enquiries can be made by contacting Environmental Health.
