A noise nuisance in Rossendale typically includes persistent loud music, barking dogs, and sounding alarms. The council does not investigate complaints from businesses and focuses on issues that affect residents.
Here’s a brief overview of what constitutes a noise nuisance and what does not:
| Noise Nuisance Examples | Not Considered Noise Nuisance |
|---|---|
| Persistent loud music | Domestic DIY work during the day/weekends |
| Barking dogs | Noise from children playing in the garden |
| Sounding alarms | Annual parties |
| Footsteps in poorly insulated flats |
If noise from a neighbor becomes a nuisance, it's recommended to approach them directly first. If the problem persists, you can report it to the council. More details can be found on how to report a noise nuisance.
