Paragraph 10 Use noise limitI1
England, Wales and Scotland
The rating level of noise emitted from the use of the development must not exceed the background noise level by more than 5 dB at any time. The noise levels must be determined at any noise sensitive premises. The measurement and assessment must be made according to British Standard 4142:1997. In the event that a development consent order for a new nuclear generating station at Hinkley Point, which contains noise restrictions is implemented by the carrying out of a material operation, the noise limit specified in this paragraph shall cease to apply and the noise limit set out in the development consent order shall apply as a limitation applicable to both the development authorised by the development consent order and use of the development.
