Alternative Heat Redevelopment Proposal

Acoustic Information

Given the close proximity of the site to local residential receptors, it was considered necessary to assess the potential noise impacts that the site may have on these receptors, and to determine if any noise mitigation measures are required.

The proposed operating times are from 08:00am – 17:00pm Monday to Friday, and occasionally Saturdays. An acoustic report has been prepared showing how the buildings were modelled, along with background noise levels. The calculated noise level at each of the receptor locations is well below the measured background level with the exception of receptor R8 which is effectively at the background level. As per BS4142:2014, as the rating level does not exceed the background sound level, then this is an indication that the noise sources outlined within planning proposals are likely to have a LOW impact at each of the receptor adjacent properties.
