Noise Impact Assessment

Noise impact assessments for planning applications, developments and industrial projects across Ireland.

Allegro Acoustics combines environmental noise surveys, acoustic modelling and technical assessment to provide clear planning reports and practical advice throughout the development process.

How we can support you

Planning Noise Impact Assessments

Noise assessment and reporting to support planning applications for new developments, extensions and changes to existing sites.

What we provide

  • Noise impact assessments
  • Planning application noise reports
  • Assessment of existing and proposed noise sources
  • Evaluation at noise-sensitive receptors
  • Assessment against relevant planning criteria
  • Clear technical reporting for planning submissions

Baseline Surveys & Acoustic Modelling

Site surveys and acoustic modelling to establish existing conditions and predict the likely impact of proposed developments.

What we provide

  • Baseline environmental noise surveys
  • Attended and unattended monitoring
  • Site suitability assessment
  • Environmental noise modelling
  • Prediction at noise-sensitive receptors
  • Assessment of design and operating scenarios

RFI & Planning Support

Technical acoustic support where further information, design development or additional assessment is required during planning.

What we provide

  • Responses to Requests for Further Information (RFI)
  • Additional noise surveys or modelling
  • Review of planning conditions
  • Assessment of design changes
  • Mitigation and noise-control recommendations
  • Technical support through the planning process

Clear assessment and practical planning advice

We start by understanding the proposed development, the surrounding noise environment and the criteria relevant to the planning application.

Our engineers combine site measurements, project information and acoustic modelling where required to assess the likely noise impact at nearby sensitive locations.

The findings are presented clearly for the planning submission, with practical recommendations where design changes or noise-control measures are needed to achieve the required outcome.

What’s included

  • Assessment scope agreed at the outset
  • Qualified acoustic engineers, members of the Institute of Acoustics (IOA)
  • Baseline noise surveying where required
  • Acoustic modelling where appropriate
  • Assessment against the relevant planning criteria and guidance
  • Clear planning-ready technical reporting
  • Practical mitigation and design recommendations where required

Relevant project experience

Limerick Dock Data Centre
Planning noise impact assessment

Limerick Dock Data Centre

Noise impact assessment prepared in response to a planning objection, combining a baseline survey and environmental noise modelling to support the project through appeal. Permission was subsequently granted by An Bord Pleanála.

ESBi North South 400kV Interconnector
Planning noise impact assessment

North-South 400kV Interconnector

Noise impact assessment supporting the Environmental Impact Assessment for an 80km cross-border electricity interconnector, combining an extensive baseline survey with construction and operational noise impact assessment.

Clonegath Air Strip
Planning noise impact assessment

Clonegath Air Strip

Noise impact assessment and continuous monitoring supporting a planning application to increase aircraft movements, including a technical response to the local authority’s Request for Further Information.

How it works

01

Send us the project information

Tell us briefly about the proposed development and planning requirement. If you have site drawings, planning documents, an RFI or previous acoustic information, include that context where available.

02

We define the assessment

One of our acoustic engineers reviews the project and confirms the appropriate survey, modelling and assessment scope.

03

We carry out the assessment

We complete the required measurements and acoustic modelling and assess the proposed development using the standards and guidance appropriate to the project.

04

You receive a clear planning report

We provide the technical assessment required for the planning process, with practical recommendations where mitigation or further work is needed.

Request a Quote

Send us a brief description of the development or planning requirement and one of our acoustic engineers will review it and confirm the appropriate scope.

We only use your details to respond to your enquiry. See our Privacy Policy.
