Planning Condition - Site Noise Limits Condition 32 Noise emitted from operations on the site shall not result in noise levels greater than those listed below, except when temporary operations are taking place. Brooms Farm 55dB L Aeq , 1Hr (free field) Pont Road 55dB L Aeq , 1Hr (free field) Douglas Terrace 50dB L Aeq , 1Hr (free field) 13

Noise conditions continued Condition 33 During periods of temporary operations (soil stripping, the construction and removal of baffle mounds, soil storage mounds and spoil heaps, construction of new permanent landforms and aspects of site road construction and maintenance) the Noise Monitoring Scheme shall provide that the noise emitted from operations on the site shall not result in noise levels greater than 70 dB L Aeq , 1Hr (freefield) as measured at Brooms Farm, Pont Road and Douglas Terrace. The duration of such activities shall not exceed 8 weeks in relation to each of the respective noise monitoring properties in any 12 month period. 14
