Renewable Energy Development Noise Assessments

Hepworth Acoustics has wide experience undertaking noise assessments for renewable energy projects throughout the UK, including solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) developments. As these schemes are often located near noise-sensitive receptors, we recognise the importance of delivering clear, robust assessments that support planning applications and address potential community concerns.

Our experience includes assessing typical operational noise sources such as inverters and transformers within solar installations, as well as cooling systems and plant associated with BESS facilities.

Our approach is both practical and responsive. We engage early in the design process to identify potential noise constraints and provide straightforward, effective recommendations to mitigate impacts where necessary. All work is carried out in accordance with current UK policy and guidance, ensuring our assessments are reliable and suitable for planning submission.

Clients come to us time and again to benefit from our prompt, knowledgeable and proactive approach.
