Noise Pollution

Noise Pollution


    The Pollution Control & Local Government (N.I) Order 1978 imposes a duty on District Councils through their Environmental Health Officers to deal with noise nuisances, which arise in their areas. These can arise from many different causes including industrial/commercial developments, construction sites, public entertainment venues and domestic premises.

    Statistics show that approximately 80% of noise complaints arise from domestic sources. Such complaints include noise from barking dogs, DIY work and amplified music.

    For further information on noise pollution and how to deal with it, please view the Noise Pollution page or contact Environmental Health.
