This will include an assessment of the expected noise impact at relevant receptors using a methodology first approved in writing by the relevant planning authority. The assessment will consider noise from the proposed plant and machinery to demonstrate compliance with government and local policy on noise. Any fixed plant or ventilation equipment must be installed and operated in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions at all times.\n(2) The undertaker must during the course of 2032 carry out a scheme of monitoring of the operational railway noise arising from the use of the authorised development. The scheme of monitoring must first be approved by the relevant planning authority and be designed to establish whether there is a significant adverse effect (as defined in paragraph 8.3.32 of Chapter 8 of the environmental statement) at any residential property arising from night-time maximum levels. In the event of there being significant adverse effects as a result of the use of the authorised development the undertaker must agree with the relevant planning authority a noise insulation scheme for the properties concerned, based on the principles of the 1996 Regulations, and must implement the agreed scheme in accordance with a timetable agreed with the relevant planning authority.\n(3) In the event that between 2032 and 2042 there is an increase in the number of train movements at night arising from the use of the authorised development the undertaker must during the course of 2042 carry out a scheme of monitoring of the operational railway noise arising from the use of the authorised development. The scheme of monitoring must first be approved by the relevant planning authority and be designed to establish whether there is a significant adverse effect (as defined in paragraph 8.3.32 of chapter 8 of the environmental statement) at any residential property arising from night-time maximum levels. In the event of there being significant adverse effects as a result of the use of the authorised development the undertaker must agree with the relevant planning authority a noise insulation scheme for the properties concerned, based on the principles of the 1996 Regulations, and must implement the agreed scheme in accordance with a timetable agreed with the relevant planning authority.",
