Castle Combe Racing Circuit - Statutory Notice

Construction sites

Building sites can involve noisy activities and it is unlikely that a builder can totally avoid all noisy activities. The law allows for conditions to be set to control working hours of construction sites in some cases.
We recommend working hours of 8am - 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am - 1pm on Saturdays.  No noisy works should be carried out on Sundays and Bank/Public Holidays.

This will mean that residents are not disturbed at unsocial times.

Music events

Many public events such as concerts or discos have to have a Licence. The purpose of this licence is to avoid disturbance and to ensure the safety of people attending the event. The licence can carry conditions which can set the days and times when events can happen (and when they must finish), and could specify maximum noise levels to avoid disturbing neighbours.

Noise from Commercial / Business premises

Commercial and business premises can cause noise problems in a variety of ways. Such premises may have noisy generators or cooling systems which cause an on-going noise problem, or the noise may be sporadic such as that cause by deliveries or certain activities on site.

Please contact Environmental Health on 01249 706555, or email us on Ehealth@northwilts.gov.uk, if you wish to report an instance of noise nuisance from the above types of establishment.
