Where a development of an industrial or commercial nature has the potential to impact on nearby residents by way of noise, a noise impact assessment is normally required. Anderson Acoustics provide BS 4142 assessments tailored for your needs or to support your planning application. Our assessments are performed in accordance with the latest guidance, standards and regulations, including BS 4142:2014+A1:2019 when it comes to industrial and commercial noise.
Need assistance with a project? Get in touch via the contact form, drop us an email or call us on 01273 696887 to discuss your requirements.
We work with you, local authorities and other regulatory bodies to ensure our assessments satisfy their requirements, enabling planning permission to be secured, also discharging planning conditions when required.
We ascertain your goals, what the noise sources and nearest noise-sensitive receptors are, and agree a preferred assessment method for the scheme.
Using precision sound measurement equipment, we establish baseline noise conditions and observe the acoustic character of the environment through a noise survey.
To understand what impacts the proposed development will have on the existing environment, we use nationally and internationally recognised calculation methods.
Where an impact is deemed adverse, we provide robust mitigation solutions to minimise it in line with relevant guidelines. We have the experience to deliver the correct solution, either for large industrial sites (i.e. concrete batching plant, wood chipping industry, timber manufacturing site) or small-scale schemes such as kitchen extract fans, air conditioning and/or heating plant, building services etc.
To support your planning application, we provide a technical report including a summary of our assessment and any mitigation measures (where required), such that the proposed development complies with the relevant noise criteria and planning permission can be granted.
We are one of the largest specialist consultancies in the country with a vast amount of collective experience in conducting BS 4142 assessments.
Whether the impact be plant or operational noise, we provide appropriate acoustic advice to mitigate - balancing cost, functional and aesthetic requirements to deliver the right solutions for your project.
Our mission is to contribute to a sustainable future. Enabling growth for our clients whilst minimising the impact on the environment is hugely rewarding for us - we are driven to find a win-win outcome at every opportunity.
