(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations amend the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/2238) to implement Commission Directive (EU) 2015/996 establishing common noise assessment methods according to Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ No L 168, 1.7.2015, p 1).

These Regulations provide for new common noise assessment methods as set out in Annex 2 to Directive 2002/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise (OJ No L 189 18.7.2002, p 12), the text of which was replaced by Commission Directive (EU) 2015/996.

An impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
