Environmental & Industrial Noise Assessments
Whether your planning authority requires a noise impact assessment
in accordance with BS 8233 or BS 4142, or both - we handle it
Environmental Noise Assessment
Protects future residential occupants by evaluating external noise sources - road traffic, rail, aviation. We survey the site, analyse data against BS 8233 standards, and produce a full report with mitigation recommendations where needed.
Common for: New residential developments, mixed-use schemes, conversions near busy roads or transport links.
Industrial / Commercial Noise Assessment
Fulfils planning conditions for industrial facilities and external plant equipment. We assess noise impact on neighbouring properties using BS 4142, with clear recommendations if mitigation is required.
Common for: Commercial premises near residential areas, plant installations, factory operations, licensed premises.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a noise assessment cost?
Every site is different, cost depends on the type of assessment needed, location, and complexity. Send us your project details and we'll provide a clear, fixed-price quote the same day. No hidden extras.
How long does the whole process take?
From booking to report delivery, typically one week. We schedule the on-site survey within days of your enquiry and handle all data analysis and report writing in-house.
What if the noise levels are too high?
That's where our advisory approach matters. If noise levels exceed the relevant standards, we don't just flag the problem, we recommend specific mitigation measures (glazing specs, ventilation strategies, layout changes) so your planning application can still succeed. We guide you to a solution, not just a problem.
Do I actually need a noise assessment?
Your local planning authority determines whether one is required. It's common for new residential developments near roads, railways, or commercial areas, mixed-use schemes, and any project where noise could affect future occupants or neighbours. If you're unsure, send us your planning reference and we'll check for you, no charge.
What standards do you assess against?
We assess against all relevant British and International Standards: BS 8233 (environmental noise) and BS 4142 (industrial/commercial noise impact). Your report will reference the specific standards required by your planning authority.
What areas do you cover?
We cover all of England and Wales. Most of our work falls within 100 miles of London, but we regularly travel further for larger projects.
