Environmental Plant Noise Impact Assessments

Installing new plant equipment and need a BS4142 noise impact assessment for planning?

Local authorities commonly require BS4142 assessments for mechanical or plant noise, including heat pumps, AC units, condensers, and kitchen extract systems.

BS4142 Assessment Methodology – How We Complete Your Noise Assessment

One of our highly experienced acoustic consultants will visit site to measure existing background noise levels.

With offices in Nationwide including Bristol, Warrington, Warwick and many more we can deploy site engineers quickly, ensuring your noise assessment is completed efficiently and professionally, with minimal delay to your planning process.

Following the on-site survey, the measured background noise data will be used to develop a detailed and robust BS4142 noise assessment report. This can be submitted to the local authority and provide your project with consent.

If the predicted plant noise exceeds the relevant local authority noise criteria, we will recommend appropriate mitigation measures to ensure compliance and minimise potential impact.

All survey data, modelling results, and recommendations will be presented in a comprehensive Noise Impact Assessment report, suitable for submission to the local planning authority to support your planning application and demonstrate compliance with BS4142 requirements.
