REASON: In the interest of securing sustainable development and to ensure that the resulting appearance and construction of the development is of a high standard.
- CONDITION: The design and installation of new items of fixed plant shall be such that when operating the cumulative noise level LAeq Tr arising from the proposed plant, measured or predicted at 1m from the facade of the nearest noise sensitive premises, shall be a rating level of at least 5dB(A) below the background noise level LAF90 Tbg. The measurement and/or prediction of the noise should be carried out in accordance with the methodology contained within BS 4142:2014+A1:2019. REASON: In the interest of protecting the amenities of future residential occupiers from undue levels of noise and disruption.
- NOISE (CONSTRUCTION WORKS): Noise from demolition and construction works is subject to control under the Control of Pollution Act 1974. You must carry out any building works that can be heard at the boundary of the site only between 08.00 and 18.00 hours Monday to Friday and 08.00 to 13.00 on Saturday and not at all on Sundays and Public Holidays. You are advised to consult the Pollution Team, Islington Council, 222 Upper Street London N1 1XR (Tel.

- The applicant is advised that Islington have a duty to investigate any complaints in terms of statutory nuisance. It is also advised that the plant is checked upon installation and regularly checked, maintained and serviced to ensure noise levels do not rise or acoustic character such as tonality, intermittency, impulsivity or other acoustic character develop. The units should be installed on a solid base with appropriate isolation to minimise vibration and structure-borne noise transmission.
