  • Local Authorities have powers under Section 107(1) of the EPA Act of 1992 to serve a notice on any industrial or commercial premises when they consider that it is necessary to do so in order to prevent or limit noise. 
  • With regard to disputes about noise between neighbours, it is recommended that you follow the advice contained in the following documents;
