Pollution Control - Construction Information

Environmental Health

The authority investigates complaints relating to construction activities to minimise pollution caused by noise, dust and other nuisances.

Construction sites are in the open and are often near existing residential accommodation. Residents will, in general, accept construction site noise but will complain if work starts early or finishes late or takes place on Saturday afternoon, Sundays or Bank Holidays. Complaints about construction noise can be investigated by Environmental Services staff.
