Noise Impact Assessment
Understanding how your project will affect surrounding environments and communities is critical for planning, compliance, and stakeholder confidence. A Noise Impact Assessment is often a mandatory requirement for planning applications, environmental statements, and regulatory approvals. At Arthian, we provide clear, evidence-based insights that help you make informed decisions and avoid costly delays. Our assessments consider both current baseline conditions and predicted future scenarios, ensuring that potential impacts are identified early and mitigated effectively. We work closely with developers, planners, and local authorities to deliver reports that meet British Standards and satisfy planning policy requirements.
Our approach includes:
- Site-specific measurements and data collection: Using calibrated equipment to capture accurate noise levels across different times and conditions.
- Predictive modelling to forecast future noise levels: Advanced software tools simulate how noise will propagate under various operational or design scenarios.
- Actionable reports for planning applications and environmental statements: Clear, concise documentation that supports compliance and provides practical recommendations for mitigation.
- Assessment of sensitive receptors: Identifying residential areas, schools, hospitals, and wildlife habitats that may be affected by noise.
- Evaluation against relevant standards and guidelines: Including BS4142, WHO guidelines, and local authority criteria.
- Mitigation advice tailored to your project: From acoustic barriers and building design changes to operational controls that reduce noise at source.
