Cases

How We’ve Made a Difference

From BS8233 residential noise assessments in South London to licensing noise
reports for pub operators and transport statements agreed with TfL — MMES has
a proven track record of getting planning applications approved across London
and the UK.

BS8233 Noise Assessment — Residential Development, South London

A developer required a noise impact assessment for a residential scheme adjacent to a busy A-road. MMES carried out the environmental noise survey, produced a full BS8233:2014 report and specified acoustic glazing and ventilation to meet planning requirements.

Licensing Noise Report — Music Venue, Central London

A new music venue required a noise management plan for its premises licence application under the Licensing Act 2003. MMES designed the acoustic scheme and prepared the licensing noise report. The premises licence was granted with agreed, workable conditions the operator could comply with in practice.
