Section 61 Noise Consent

We work with contractors to assess the suitability of any proposed on-site works and to provide guidance and support to reduce noise and vibration at the neighbouring receptors.

Major construction projects and developments or any process or activity that generates elevated levels of noise, vibration and dust has the potential to be disruptive to residents and business. Preparing a Section 61 consent prior to works commencing is critical in identifying, controlling, and reducing emissions and avoiding complaints from residents or action from the Local Authority.

We will prepare a Section 61 consent that defines the measures that will be implemented to control and limit nosie emissions and vibration levels at residential propoerties and other sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the project. We will engage with contractors and local authorities at the early stages to seek formal consent in accordance with section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 to ensure the proposed works comply and that appropriate steps are taken to reduce and limit noise and vibration.
