ENVIROMENTAL HEALTH CONDTIONS AGREED
1. Outdoor events with live and recorded music shall comply with clause 3.3 of The Council’s Policy for the avoidance of Public Nuisance.
3.3 The licensee shall ensure that the volume of noise due to music and singing and fixed plant and equipment shall be so controlled by the licensee so as not to give reasonable cause for annoyance. Notwithstanding the above, any noise shall not be audible within any noise sensitive premises.
Where this has been breached, the licensee will review the noise control measures that are in place and implement a revised scheme that has been agreed with the Licensing Authority.
2. Certain types of events may be considered major events. Major events are deemed to be those events which might breach clause 3.3, such as Pop Concerts, Dances and Discos, and are expected to attract large numbers of people. It is not the Council’s intention to prevent such events altogether and therefore the following conditions shall apply to major events.
2.1 The number of Major Events per year shall not exceed four.
2.2 The date and start time of each major event shall be notified to the Council at least seven days in advance of each event.
2.3 The maximum music noise level during a Major Event, for live and recorded music, shall not exceed 65dBA1 at the boundary of the nearest noise sensitive premises.
2.4 A Major Event shall cease no more than four hours after the start time notified in Clause 2.2 above but must comply with Clause 2.5 below.
A Major Event may be in addition to other activities on the same day that involve live or recorded music, provided those other activities comply with Clause 3.3 of the Councils Policy on the avoidance of Public Nuisance and Clause 2.5 below.
2.5 Live or recorded music shall not be audible at the boundary of any noise
sensitive premises after 2300 Monday to Saturday, or after 2230 on a Sunday.
