Cherwell District Council will not handle certain types of noise complaints, as these fall outside their jurisdiction or are considered ordinary residential activities. Here's a rundown of the noise complaints they won't investigate:
| Type of Noise Complaint | Details |
|---|---|
| Anonymous complaints | Complaints must include the complainant's details. |
| Complaints requiring access to complainant's premises | If access is denied, complaints can't be pursued. |
| Ordinary use of residential properties | Includes noise from babies crying, children playing, or occasional dog barking. |
| Anti-social behaviour (shouting, arguments, etc.) | These should be directed to the Community Safety Team. |
| Noise from moving vehicles | Complaints about car stereos or revving engines must go to the police. |
| Noise from aircraft in flight | Handled by the Civil Aviation Authority. |
| Noise from low flying military aircraft | Reported to the Ministry of Defence. |
| Noise from railway activities | Contact Network Rail for issues related to engineering or rolling stock noise. |
If you have a type of noise complaint that might not fall under their remit, consider reaching out to the relevant authority instead.
