Residential developments require planning permission to show that noise levels in and around buildings can be controlled. A noise impact assessment should be submitted at the planning stage to show that future occupants can be protected from noise and suitable amenity can be created. Sound Solution Consultants (SSC) has extensive experience helping clients from planning stage, working with a range of projects from single residential conversions to large multi-residential schemes. Noise surveys can be carried out at the development site to assess the impact of incident noise sources including transportation noise, industrial noise and entertainment noise.
We stock a wide range of thermal insulation products, offering high levels of heat insulation for walls, ceilings, lofts and more. Some of our materials have both acoustic and thermal insulation qualities making them very cost effective, we also stock breathable, water resistant, fire retardant and recycled materials. These qualities mean that whatever your need, Sound Solution Consultants can help you find exactly what you need.
Environmental noise impact assessments can be provided for all types of renewable energy developments, including wind energy and hydro power facilities. Sound Solution Consultants can provide detailed design advice and assist the project successfully through the planning application stage and provide a consultation and testing service to discharge conditional planning requirements.
Our consultancy services cover the acoustic design, analysis and control of sound and vibration in buildings and the environment. Developments we can help with are; residential, mixed-use buildings, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, recording studios and more. We provide impact assessments for; construction, transportation, industrial & commercial, entertainment and renewable energy. It is a legal requirement under Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 to protect employees from noisy working environments.
At Sound Solution Consultants we've provided numerous renewable energy assessments in England, Wales and Scotland covering hydropower and wind energy. We can produce complex computer modelling of proposed renewable energy developments as to graphically illustrate sound propagation in the environment. We use IMMI noise modelling and mapping software in our Environmental Noise Modelling. For the assessment of wind turbines, we work in accordance with the Institute of Acoustics Good Practice Guide on Wind Turbine Noise (2014).
Noise and vibration impacts from construction and demolition activities have the potential to cause high levels of disturbance. Contractors therefore have to ensure a "best practicable means" approach, to protect the public. Particularly, when working near to noise sensitive locations. Section 61 of The Control of Pollution Act 1974 sets out the structure for the managerial process. All applications are provided by the contractor undertaking the works. In a Section 61, we will provide technical support to the contractor and as required, engage with Local Authorities.
