The ProPG has been produced to provide practitioners with guidance on a recommended approach to the management of noise within the planning system in England. The Institute of Acoustics, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health and the Association of Noise Consultants have worked together to produce the guidance which encourages good acoustic design for new residential development and aims to protect people from the harmful effects of noise. The recommended approach detailed in this guidance includes a framework to enable situations where noise is not an issue to be clearly determined, and to help identify the extent of risk at noisier sites. Higher development costs should invariably be anticipated in those areas exposed to high levels of noise that may be harmful or otherwise unacceptable. The recommended approach provides opportunities to incorporate effective design interventions that will enable residential development to proceed in areas that might otherwise have been considered unsuitable and to manage any extra costs in doing so appropriately. Inevitably, there may be some situations where it is so noisy it will not be appropriate to build new dwellings. Even in those situations, this guide will assist as it encourages early identification of the risk of refusal and supports early decision making – thereby avoiding unnecessary development and design costs.
