Noise and Nuisance - Research Reports

Identifying the Options Available for Determining Population Data and Identifying Agglomerations in Connection with EU Proposals Regarding Environmental Noise

This research, undertaken by AEA Technology, was commissioned by the former DETR and the Devolved Administrations with the aim of identifying the options available for determining population exposure to noise and identifying agglomerations in connection with EU proposals regarding environmental noise. The first part of this report is concerned with the identification of agglomerations in the UK and the second part (Section 5 onwards) considers the requirements of the draft Directive on the Assessment and Management if Environmental Noise when assessing exposure of the population to noise.
