PPG24
The full title is Planning Policy Guidance Note 24, and it
is intended to offer guidance when developments are planned
near a source of noise such as a road, railway or airport.
PPG24 is to be replaced
in 2006 with an updated document - PPS24
A noise impact assessment carried out to PPG24 places the
proposed site into one of four Noise Exposure Categories (NEC):
A, B, C or D, each NEC giving guidance to the planners about
the impact on residents of the noise levels at the proposed
site, and the relationship that the noise levels have as to
whether planning permission should be granted.
