This key reference text covers both the common law and the statutory controls over noise; including a detailed discussion of the role of planning law, with special attention given to the role of environmental assessment. Leading cases are covered in detail, for example, Baxter v Camden LBC, Coventry v Lawrence, Hatton v UK, Webster v Lord Advocate and Dennis v MoD.
Drawing on the authors' combined expertise, the book presents a clear and practical overview for academics, practitioners and agencies working in acoustics, noise law and environmental law. It is also an ideal textbook for students undertaking modules on Environmental Noise and Regulation of Noise as part of the IOA diploma in Acoustics.
