An additional positive correction of 3dB(A) may be applied to
the PNL in cases where the Authority considers that noise levels at the
NSR will be increased due to the confined or reverberant nature of the
immediate locality of the construction site and the NSR.
2.12 Step 12
Corrected Noise Level (CNL) at the Noise Sensitive
Receiver (NSR)
The corrections obtained in Steps 10 and 11 shall be applied to
the PNL obtained in Step 9 to give the CNL at the NSR.
2.13 Step 13 - Construction Noise Permit (CNP) Issuing Procedure
The CNL at the NSR obtained in Step 12 shall be compared with
the ANL obtained in Step 6. If the CNL is equal to or less than the ANL
the CNP may be issued. If the CNL is greater than the ANL the CNP shall
not be issued unless the application is a special case as defined in
Section 3. The procedures detailed in Section 3 shall then be followed.
When giving consideration to the renewal of CNPs pursuant to
Section 9 of the Ordinance the Authority may impose additional conditions
or may refuse to renew a CNP having regard to complaints received and
other relevant factors, notwithstanding the procedures and guidelines
detailed in Steps 1 to 12.
To assist in enforcement procedures the Authority may include
as a condition for all CNPs a requirement for the CNP applicant to ensure
that each item of PME which is permitted to be used on the construction
site is, at the time of its use, labelled in a legible and conspicuous.
manner with the appropriate identification code as shown in Table 3. For
items not given in Table 3 the identification code to be used shall be as
specified by the Authority in the CNP.
