  • p243. Consultation comments Conservation Officer - No objection Environmental Health - No objection following consideration of the submitted Noise Impact Assessment.
  • p254. Representations In respect of this application site notices were displayed near to the site along the upper and lower promenade and an advert placed in the local paper. No responses were received.
  • p35raised no objection to the proposal. However, they recommended that any planning permission granted should be subject to a condition requiring the submission of a Noise Impact Assessment, including a BS 4142:2014+A1:2019 assessment, prior to the installation of the unit. Environmental Health advised that the assessment should demonstrate that the rating level of noise generated by the air source heat pump would not exceed 35dB LAeq,15min when measured at the façade of any neighbouring residential property. In response to these comments, the applicant decided to commission and submit a Noise Impact Assessment during the determination of the application, rather than address the matter through a planning condition. A Noise Impact Assessment prepared by Venta Acoustics (dated 8 September 2026) was subsequently submitted in support of the proposal, and Environmental Health was re-consulted.
  • p36The assessment concludes that the predicted rating level at the flats above the restaurant at No. 2 Eversfield Place would be 3dB LAeq,15min and that the rating level at the flats at No.
  • p3780 Western Road would be 10dB LAeq,15min. Both figures are substantially below the 35dB LAeq,15min threshold identified by Environmental Health. Accordingly, the proposal is not expected to give rise to any unacceptable noise impacts or harm to the living conditions of nearby residential occupiers.
