The information submitted within a <a href=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/planning-noise-surveys\/\">BS8233 noise survey report<\/a> allows the local Planning Department to assess the level of noise impact expected on the development and ensure appropriate noise mitigation measures are put in to place. The overall\u00a0purpose of the BS8233 noise survey is to ensure that the development is compliant with the National Planning and Policy Framework and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/publications\/noise-policy-statement-for-england\">Noise Policy Statement for England<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/planning-noise-surveys\/\">BS8233 noise assessment<\/a> report should be submitted during pre-application discussions or more commonly during a planning application.

This is achieved by firstly establishing a baseline measure of the existing noise climate and then comparing this with the introduced noise. If this comparison cannot be achieved due to practical purposes, then a reasonable prediction can be made through various modelling methods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There can be a large variety of scenarios and requirements that may be present during noise impact assessments, with this in mind it is important to liaise with the case officer and environmental health team, in order to ensure that the appropriate legislation and British Standards are being adhered to at all times.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5399\" src=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/BS8233_noise_survey_next_to_main_road-600x401.jpg\" alt=\"Noise Survey Equipment being set up for a BS8233 Noise Survey\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What you need to do after you receive your <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/bs8233-noise-surveys\/\"><strong>BS8233 Noise Survey\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Once your <a href=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/blog\/bs8233-noise-assessment\/\">BS8233 noise survey<\/a> is completed and you received your <a href=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/blog\/bs8233-noise-surveys\/\">noise assessment report<\/a>, you will need to review the recommendations and ensure any amendments to the design of the project are outlined in your overall site details such as detailed plans and any other supporting specification\/documentation.
