Pollution control - Construction

The permitted hours for noisy work are:

Monday - Friday: 8am - 6pm
Saturday: 8am - 1pm

No work is permitted on Sundays and bank holidays.

These times apply to work that is audible at the site boundary.

In exceptional circumstances (e.g. in the case of police traffic restrictions or in an emergency), work outside these hours may be unavoidable.

In such cases, the person responsible should inform us as far in advance as possible. You may request for a Section 61 agreement with the council to agree on when the works can take place; such an agreement may specify the type of plant that can be used and methods of work. You are also advised to notify surrounding residents about works of this type.

The permitted times for working may be reduced in the case of particularly noisy operations.
