If you are using a building site and causing a nuisance your local council can restrict the:
- type of plant or machinery you use
- hours when you can work
- levels of noise, artificial lighting or dust.
If you do not comply with these restrictions your local council can stop your operations and you can be fined.
If you are planning construction work on your premises and know that it is likely to cause a nuisance you can apply for prior consent from your local council.
Your council will outline restrictions on possible nuisances before the work starts. You can apply for this consent at the same time as seeking approval under Building Regulations. It may save you time later on.
