If complaints alleging excessive noise were received, these could be investigated under legislation such as the Environmental Protection Act (1990) for statutory noise nuisance, or Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act (2014). Having an adequate management plan is advised, to help prevent such issues arising. This management plan should incorporate reasonable hours of use during the day and evening, and appropriate supervision of children to ensure reasonable noise from play activities/to prevent excessive noise or antisocial behaviour. This management plan should also incorporate maintenance and a regular inspection programme to ensure safe function of the play equipment and surrounding surfaces.
