Outdoor events should not cause unreasonable disturbance to local residents. Event organisers are expected to:
- Undertake a noise risk assessment to identify properties that may be affected and how noise will be minimised
- Impose conditions on when certain activities can take place
- Limit the volume of amplified sound systems
- Log any complaints about noise they receive
We will normally monitor events to ensure that conditions are being adhered to.
Code of practice for event organisers
There is a code of practice to assist organisers in the smooth running of events such as college balls, concerts and similar open-air events.
This benefits those attending whilst ensuring that unreasonable disturbance is not caused to local residents.
