Site Suitability Indicator (SSI) For New Residential Development
1st June 2020
Member company, Noise Consultants Limited has developed a Site Suitability Indicator (SSI) which brings together strategic noise mapping data in England as prepared by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) with the Initial Risk Assessment approach as advocated in ProPG.
Freely available, the SSI aims to help provide noise practitioners, developers and Local Planning Authorities with an initial understanding of the suitability of a site in England for new residential development from a noise perspective. The SSI has been prepared in consultation with Defra, and has been supported by Acustica Limited.
