NOVA Acoustics is a team of acoustic consultants carrying out noise surveys and noise assessments across the UK. Noise Assessments are required for planning permission for residential developments and industrial developments. Noise assessments require a baseline environmental noise survey to be carried out to appropriately assess the current noise profile of the area. If the development is a noise sensitive development, the environmental noise assessment will be used to carry out a noise impact assessment on the dwelling. This type of noise assessment is calculating the expected internal noise level and stating whether the development needs to be augmented to reduce the expected internal noise level. Noise surveys can either be long term unmanned surveys or short term manned noise surveys. This is dependant if there is a suitably secure location to leave monitoring equipment at the site. If the development is a noise generating development then a noise impact assessment is required to ascertain the impact on a noise sensitive receptors in the locality. Noise impact assessment follow varying guidance, industrial noise analysis requires a BS4142 noise assessment to be carried out by an appropriately qualified acoustic consultant. The process to carry out a noise assessment of a noise generating development is similar to a sensitive development, however the noise profile of the receiver has to be analysed by carrying out an environmental noise survey and further analysis is then carried out the source of noise that is being analysed,

Many acoustic consultant companies operate nationwide, NOVA Acoustics has three offices in Leeds, Manchester and London to ensure we can provide acoustic consultancy services at short notice in any location across the UK. NOVA Acoustics will always endeavour to carry out your noise survey as fast as possible and as quick as possible to ensure your development can proceed in a timely manner.

Our Manchester office is able to cover North Wales and the North West including Lancashire, Blackburn, Burnley, Stoke, Birmingham and the West Midlands. Our London office primarily carries out noise assessments in London, however we can travel further afield to Bristol, Milton Keynes, Cambridge and Oxford.

Noise surveys and noise assessment costs can vary significantly dependant on the size of the development and the complexity in carrying out the assessment. If you are looking for a low cost, friendly and fast service then call NOVA Acoustics.
