Abstract
The aim of this paper is to consider the question of who is responsible for obtaining the noise consent for work on construction sites, under Section 61 of the UK Control of Pollution Act which came into force on 1st January, 1976. One point was made clear by the civil engineering contractors at a recent conference: namely that the noise consent should be obtained before the specification goes out to tender. The consensus of opinion was that the consultant engineer was the best person to apply to the local authority for prior consent for work on construction sites, when these were situated in noise-sensitive areas.
