Environmental Noise Assessment

What is an environmental noise assessment?

Understanding the service


An environmental noise assessment, sometimes called a noise impact assessment, is an independent study to measure and predict noise levels around new or existing developments. Local planning authorities often require this as part of the planning process. The aim is simple: check that new buildings, extensions, or changes in use will not introduce harmful noise to homes, workplaces, schools, or leisure areas. This helps protect both people and the wider environment.


Why is it necessary?


Noise is one of the most common causes of complaints to local authorities. Excessive noise can harm health, wellbeing, and quality of life. For developers, early noise assessment can avoid costly redesigns or planning objections. It is not just about compliance with standards. It is about showing due care for the people living or working nearby, and for those who will use the building in future. A proper assessment also supports smoother planning approvals and keeps projects on track and within budget.


Environmental noise assessments are needed for a wide range of schemes, from new roads and railways to residential sites, commercial units, and leisure facilities. The right assessment at the right time gives clarity and certainty for everyone involved.

Dan at enevo has completed for us SBEM Calculations and EPC Certificates for 6 commercial units on an industrial estate. The cost of the works was very competitive and the service we received was second to none. With very limited time to get these works completed Dan worked round the clock (and into his annual leave!!) to ensure that our completion date was achieved with very little notice. Would highly recommend!
