Noise SPD
If you have a live planning application, you can use the planning application search to check its progress. The search is updated regularly and key milestones and target dates can be found under 'Proposal Details'.
If your application is still within the statutory determination period, or within an agreed extension of time, you should not expect a progress update at this stage.
If you need to contact your planning officer, email them directly. You can find their contact details in:
- your planning application acknowledgement letter
- emails or letters about your application
For information about planning applications, planning guidance, planning enforcement and other planning services, visit the planning and building control page.
For planning advice for your business or property, use our pre-application service.
The Noise Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) sets out the Council’s supplementary planning advice for controlling noise from new development and protecting noise sensitive new development from existing noise. The SPD supplements saved Unitary Development Plan (UDP) Policies CD40, CD41, CD52, H2 and H4, providing detailed guidance on their implementation.
