This site is located in the west of
Wolverhampton in an area comprising
existing industrial and residential
development.
A previous Noise Assessment had been
undertaken to accompany a planning
application for the proposed residential
development at the site. However, a
representative of the Environmental Health
Department at the City of Wolverhampton
Council requested:
Additional information regarding sound
from specific equipment associated
with one of the existing industrial units;
Noise modelling to demonstrate the
noise constraints across the site; and
Detailed noise mitigation solutions.
ACCON UK, through consultation with the
owners of the identified industrial unit,
undertook additional noise measurements of
the equipment of concern. Whilst onsite, the
experienced ACCON UK staff identified an
additional potential noise issue, located on
the opposite side of the proposed
development, which had not been identified
earlier. Through consultation with the
operators of the source, the anticipated
impact of the noise was assessed and
mitigation proposed. This prominent
source of noise could have resulted in
complaints from new residents had
ACCON not noticed it at the planning
stage.
ACCON UK’s detailed noise modelling of
the existing noise sources and proposed
development layout, including proposed
noise barriers, allowed façade-by-façade
design of noise mitigation measures for
each individual residential plot.

same for you.
