Environmental Acoustics & Planning Reports

Planning-ready acoustic reporting

Planning teams want clear evidence. Neighbours want reassurance.

We support planning applications with environmental noise assessments and acoustic reports that are easy to follow.

We have longstanding relationships with local authorities and a detailed knowledge of the main assessment methodologies, such as BS 4142: 2014, BS 6472: 2008, BS 5228: 2009, and BS 8233: 2014.

Why Would I need an acoustic report?

New or replacement plant (AC, heat pumps, extractors)
New developments near existing noise
Change of use where future occupants need protection
Planning conditions that require noise evidence
Complaints/objections that need an independent response

What We Do

We tailor the work to the site and planning risk, which can include:

Noise surveys and monitoring
Assessment of specific sources like plant, traffic, deliveries, or nearby commercial activity
Clear mitigation advice where needed (and what it means for design)
Reports written for planners, not just engineers

What You Get

A clear planning-ready report with a plain-English summary
Easy-to-review evidence for reviewers to check
Practical recommendations that suit the site and the project
Support with minor amendments and follow-up questions

How it Works

Quick chat to confirm what planning needs and what you need.

Agree scope and survey approach.

Measure and assess.
