Noise Information Pack

How to Take Take Your Own Action

What is this pack for?

Environmental Protection Officers who have had considerable experience in dealing with nuisance have prepared the pack. Its purpose is to explain, in a straightforward and helpful way, how you can take your own action against a noisy neighbour who is causing you distress.  The key steps are:-

  1. If possible, approach the person who is causing you a problem. Hopefully the matter can be resolved at this point
  2. If this fails, write to them  (example letter in pack)
  3. If noise persists then formal action needs to be taken by applying to the Court for an order to abate the nuisance and evidence, in the form of diary sheet, will need to be submitted
