When does noise become a problem?

To begin with, we will cover when noise becomes an issue. According to English law, a nuisance is an interference with someone’s use of land or enjoyment that is unlawful. The procedure of deciding what amount of noise causes this kind of response is subjective. For example, you might consider the quantity of sound, its timing, and the length. Individuals frequently use these to figure out whether there is actually a nuisance.

What are statutory nuisances?

Next, we will go over what a statutory nuisance is. It is the duty of local authorities to handle these nuisances under the Environmental Protection Act 1990. For noise to count as one though, it needs to be prejudicial to health. Section 79(1)(g) and (ga) of the act have relevant information on this topic.

What is an abatement notice?

It is very important to know about these. Sometimes, the local authority may believe that a noise issue is a statutory nuisance. When they do, they can distribute these notices. This notice could require you to limit the noise to certain points in the day. Alternatively, you might have to stop it entirely. They can serve the notice on the responsible individual. Once served, they have 21 days to appeal.
