Paragraph 18 Control of noise during construction and operational phaseI1I2

Except in case of an emergency, or with the prior written agreement of Central Bedfordshire Council, the Rating Level as defined in BS4142:1997 of the noise emitted from the operation of the authorised development must not exceed the free field noise levels listed in the following table—

Compliance with these limits must be demonstrated by noise measurements at locations closer to the Order limits selected to allow measurement of noise from the authorised development to be made without significant influence of noise from other sources. Noise levels must be calculated for these locations in accordance with the propagation methodology in ISO 9613 and agreed with the relevant planning authorities.
