Residential Development Noise Assessments By Acoustic Experts

CONTROL OF NOISE AFFECTING RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

BS 8233: 2014

Our residential development noise assessments detail guidance on sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings.

BS 8233 (2014) – “Guidance on sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings” deals with the control of noise from outside the building, noise from plant and services within it and room acoustics and suggests appropriate criteria and limits for different situations.

At HA Acoustics we undertake BS 8233 surveys on a weekly basis aiding both small and large developers get their planning consents without delay.

BS 8233 is the British Standard regularly referred to by Local Authority planning departments to ensure that residents of proposed new build or refurbished developments have adequate noise insulation and are suitably protected from noise outside of their building in order to achieve, for example, reasonable sleeping/resting conditions.

During our residential development noise assessments, HA Acoustics liaise with the Local Authority to ensure that the acoustic assessment that we produce is tailored to meet your needs. Our detailed noise monitoring service uses state of the art, Class 1 sound level meters to accurately capture the local noise climate. Following survey, the comprehensive acoustic assessment that we produce is specifically tailored to meet your needs. Our residential development noise report includes details on the site, legislation and British standards, follows national guidance and sets out the noise calculations that have been undertaken. If necessary, glazing and facade calculations are made, with reference to appropriate ventilation, so as to ensure internal noise criteria is met. Our acoustic reports will support your planning application.
