Pollution control - noise

The Council has a duty to investigate complaints of noise nuisance.This includes complaints regarding:

Barking dogs
Loud music
Car and property alarms
Noisey DIY
Industry
Machinery and equipment
Construction sites

The Council has very few powers over noise from vehicles on the highway or from aircraft.

Complaints of nuisance are often resolved by negotiation or in liason with partner organisations. Where necessary legal notices can be served under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and Control of Pollution Act 1974.
