performance specifications for such measures or for particularly quiet
items or PME to be used, maximum noise levels at the NSR or at any other
position, and
other conditions which any

appropriate by the Authority.

remote area and the NSR is a passive recreational area, a CNP may be
granted even if the CNL exceeds the ANL.
For the purposes of this section a remote area is one in which very few people will be exposed to the noise and where the Authority. considers that the noise is extremely unlikely to give rise to public
annoyance or complaint.
3.3. Unavoidable Constraints on Working Hours
A CNP may be granted even if the CNL exceeds the ANL if it can
be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Authority that to carry out
the work during restricted hours would cause less public annoyance inconvenience than would be caused by carrying out the work during
non-restricted hours.
