Noise from roads, trains or planes
Noise from roads
There바카라 사이트™s no legal limit to road noise, although noise levels might be taken into account when new roads or houses and offices near roads are planned.
Planned new roads
When planning a new road local highway authorities assess how the noise at your property will change when the road opens.
If noise from a new road exceeds certain levels at your home you might be able to get sound insulation.
Contact your highway authority to apply, or if you바카라 사이트™re worried about the noise from a planned road scheme - get their details from your local council.
Compulsory purchase and road noise
When a new road is built, it often involves the 바카라 사이트˜compulsory purchase바카라 사이트™ of land to make way for the road.
You might be able to get compensation if a compulsory purchase means you become affected by road noise. Find out more in the guide 바카라 사이트˜Your property and compulsory purchase바카라 사이트™.
After roads open to traffic
You can apply for compensation if your property value goes down because of road noise from the use of a new or altered road.
