Noise Insulation (Railways and Other Guided Transport Systems) Regulations 1996
These Regulations document the procedures to be used to assess the requirement to provide noise insulation to residential properties adjacent to new and altered railway or tram schemes. The Regulations provide criteria for overall noise levels, the contribution from traffic on the new or altered railway and a distance cut off of 300m. The Regulations also contain a power to enable noise insulation to properties as a result of construction noise from highway schemes.
