Developers and Planners

Meeting Planning Requirements

In the UK, developers and planners are responsible for meeting the noise requirements of each council’s distinctive local plan as required under the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) and the World Health Organisation Guidelines for Community Noise.

Boosting Development Potential

As part of your project team, we boost the potential for a site to be developed. When we are brought in at an early stage, we can enable a green-field site to generate the best land value. We maximise the potential design footprint without compromising the noise requirements for the site.

Aiding Low-Cost Housing

Sites close to motorways and other brown-field locations are increasingly being considered especially for low-cost housing. We provide robust noise mitigation designs to enable large areas of land to be granted planning permission for building.

Enhancing the Quality of Life

A home needs to provide a quality of life based on specified noise limits. When properly designed, noise barriers can not only help to engineer the best soundscape but also be adapted to blend with the environment and enhance the appearance of the surroundings.

Training Your Teams

As part of your technical planning and design teams, we can also provide comprehensive training in noise mitigation to understand its relevance and appreciate how it can play a vital part in future planning and property development.
