We have a lot of experience, since the company started in 1997, of environmental assessments for all types of developments, covering all aspects of noise and vibration issues. Most Planning Applications, even at outline stage, require discussions with local authorities about the technical issues, and usually require an independent acoustic consultants’ noise report.

We undertake noise surveys, discuss the options available with the management and design team and then produce a report containing advice and recommendations to resolve any noise issues. This may be a report for typical background noise level, and to assess the feasibility of the project with regard to any noise and vibration criteria.

There are also many technical requirements and conditions on noise set by the local authority, together with statutory noise guidelines, and these need detailed professional independent advice to be resolved successfully.

Our professional surveys and reports are comprehensive, and with detailed design recommendations to enable developers to gain full Planning Permission. We provide professional technical advice to the design team with architects, consultant planners, solicitors and project managers, throughout the duration of the project from start to finish.

We undertake regular compliance monitoring, and organise all completion tests to finally clear any planning conditions or restrictions to use. We have a high success rate of achieving planning permission in difficult and sensitive situations.
