Caulmert has been appointed to undertake a noise impact assessment for a proposed airfield in Gwynedd, which is to be utilised for the take-off and landing of microlights. The assessment will be included in a planning application to be submitted to Gwynedd County Council.
As part of the project Caulmert are to undertake a site reconnaissance visit to assess the airfield layout and determine the nearest noise sensitive receptors. Caulmert’s noise expert will then complete a background noise monitoring survey, comprising attended background noise measurements following the methodology detailed in BS4142:1997 – Method for rating industrial noise affecting mixed residential and industrial areas. A noise assessment report will then be produced, which will include details regarding the noise impact of the airfield and advice regarding noise mitigation measures, should they be required.
