Paragraph 24 Control of noise during constructionI1
England, Wales and Scotland
No stage of the connection works may commence until a noise and vibration management scheme for construction of that stage (which must accord with the written scheme for noise and vibration management contained in the outline code of construction practice) has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority. The scheme for noise and vibration management must form part of the code of construction practice.
The scheme must set out the particulars of—
the construction works, and the method by which they are to be carried out;
the noise attenuation measures to be taken to minimise noise resulting from the construction works, including any noise limits; and
a scheme for monitoring the noise during the construction works to ensure compliance with the noise limits and effectiveness of the attenuation measures.
The approved noise and vibration management scheme must be implemented before and maintained during construction of the relevant stage of the connection works.
The construction works must be undertaken in accordance with the approved noise and vibration management scheme.
