  The Prevention of Public Nuisance

   

  1.              Noise or vibration shall not emanate from the premises such as to cause persons in the neighbourhood to be unreasonably disturbed.  In general terms, noise from the premises shall not be audible within any noise sensitive premises (e.g. dwelling) with windows open for normal ventilation especially after 23.00hr.  This shall be assessed from the boundary to the nearest residential properties, on all sides of the licensed premises.  The criteria that shall be applied are:

   

                (a)              Before 23.00hr - Noise emanating from the premises shall not be clearly distinguishable above other noise.

                (b)              After 23.00hr - Noise emanating from the premises shall not be distinguishable above background levels of noise.

                (c)              The local authority shall reserve the right in cases of tonal noise and where premises are attached to others (i.e. semi's and terraced properties), to make further assessments from within the residential property.

   

  2.              The placing of refuse, such as bottles, into receptacles outside the premises must take place at times that will prevent disturbance to nearby properties.

   

  3.              Doors and windows must be kept shut during entertainment to reduce noise breakout.  A management scheme shall be in place to ensure this situation remains.

   

  4.              Staff shall check prior to entertainment, and periodically during the entertainment, that all windows and doors are shut.

   

  5.              A senior member of staff (manager) shall assess the impact of any noisy activities on neighbouring residential premises at the start of the activity/entertainment and periodically throughout the activity/entertainment to ensure levels of noise have not increased.

   

  6.              The handling of beer kegs, bottles and other similar items shall not take place in the late evening, at night and during the early morning when the noise generated could cause a nuisance particularly outside buildings.

   

  7.              The movement of bins and rubbish outside the premises shall be kept to a minimum after 23.00hr.  This shall help to reduce the levels of noise produced by the premises.

   

  8.              Provision of mechanical ventilation and air conditioning system shall not allow noise breakout from the premises or cause a nuisance by its operation.
