Noise Control – Noise from Construction Sites & Roadworks

Noise from Construction Sites & Roadworks

The Public Protection Department’s Pollution Control Team receives between 1100 and 1200 complaints every year over three quarters of which are from domestic sources. These include loud stereo music, barking dog and DIY noise. The remaining quarter are due to industrial and commercial sources such as pubs and clubs, factories and construction sites.

Noise from construction sites and roadworks affects us all from time to time. However, if you are experiencing excessive noise from construction noise or noise during the night from a construction site please contact the Pollution Control Team.

There are some noise sources the council does not have the power to control. These include traffic noise, railway noise, aircraft noise and noise from persons shouting in the street. Some of these sources are dealt with by the following agencies:

 

  Road and railway noise: DEFRA, Great Minister House, 76 Marsham Street, London SW1P 4DR. Tel: (020) 7944 3000

  Air traffic noise: Civil Aviation Authority, CAA House, 45-59 Kingsway, London WS2B 6TE. Tel: (020) 73797311
