When recording noise incidents, it's important to document them during specific times for different noise types. Based on available council records, here are the permitted hours for construction noise and other loud noises:
| Type of Noise | Permitted Hours |
|---|---|
| Construction Noise | Monday to Friday: 8am - 6pm<br>Saturday: 8am - 1pm<br>No work on Sundays or bank holidays |
| Loud Music or TV | Not explicitly restricted, but reasonable hours should be observed, and it's advised to speak with the neighbour first. |
| DIY Noise | Should be limited to reasonable hours as well; refer to construction noise hours if it's significant. |
When recording incidents, especially for construction noise, ensure they occur within the permitted hours to assist with any potential complaints. Always try to talk to the person responsible for the noise before escalating the issue.
