EMC Acoustics was appointed to carry out a Noise Impact Assessment for Ted Baker Grooming in Holborn, Central London, in support of a planning application.

Located in a busy central London environment, the project required a professional acoustic assessment to consider the potential noise impact of the proposed development on surrounding noise-sensitive properties.

Due to the site's urban location and proximity to neighbouring premises, noise was an important consideration within the planning process.

The client required an acoustic consultant to undertake the necessary on-site measurements, assess the existing noise environment and prepare a comprehensive technical report suitable for submission to the Local Planning Authority.

The EMC Acoustics team attended the site and carried out the required environmental noise measurements. The assessment included:

• On-site environmental noise monitoring
• Assessment of the existing background noise climate
• Identification of nearby noise-sensitive receptors
• Assessment of potential noise associated with the development
• Review of building-services and mechanical plant noise, where applicable
• Development of appropriate noise-control recommendations
• Preparation of a detailed Noise Impact Assessment Report

Technical Assessment

Using the measured data collected on site, our acoustic consultants assessed the potential noise impact of the proposed development against the relevant planning and acoustic criteria.

Where required, practical mitigation measures were specified to minimise noise emissions and protect neighbouring properties.

EMC Acoustics produced a comprehensive Noise Impact Assessment to support the planning application for Ted Baker Grooming in Holborn.

The project demonstrates EMC Acoustics' experience in providing technically robust acoustic assessments for commercial developments in challenging Central London locations.

From initial site surveys and environmental noise measurements through to technical reporting and planning support, EMC Acoustics provides practical acoustic consultancy to help clients meet planning requirements and move their projects forward.
