Planning a music festival, outdoor concert or live entertainment event?
Helping your event secure approval and run successfully.
Why get a noise survey?
Local authorities have a responsibility to balance the benefits of live events with the potential impact on neighbouring communities.
As a result, many planning applications, premises licence applications and Temporary Event Notices require supporting acoustic information before approval can be granted.
By assessing the likely impact of amplified music and event noise, we help provide the evidence needed to support your application and address concerns before they become obstacles.
The result is a stronger application and a clearer path towards a successful event.
Spratt and Hamer are efficient and understand our needs, including the financial constraints that may apply.
We’d definitely work with them again – in fact we’re currently working on a project together now!

Every site is different.
The location of stages, the orientation of speakers, event timings and surrounding land uses can all influence how sound is experienced beyond the event boundary.
If potential issues are identified, we'll work with you to explore practical and proportionate solutions that support both the success of the event and the needs of neighbouring communities.
This may include:
Reviewing stage locations and layouts
Assessing speaker orientation
Establishing appropriate music noise limits
Developing noise management plans
Recommending monitoring arrangements during the event
Advising on event scheduling and operational controls
The aim is not to restrict your event unnecessarily, but to help create a plan that gives organisers, local authorities and residents confidence.
Support before, during and after your event
Successful events require more than a report.
From early planning discussions through to event-day monitoring and post-event review, we can provide support at every stage of the process.
Our team regularly works alongside event organisers, production teams, licensing consultants and local authorities, helping to ensure that noise management arrangements are practical, achievable and proportionate to the event.
By planning ahead, many potential issues can be resolved long before the first act takes to the stage.
