Pollution Control - construction information

The authority monitors construction activities to minimise pollution caused by noise, dust and other nuisances.

Under certain circustances, a notice can be served on construction sites under the Control of Pollution Act 1974 restricting the hours and days of the week during which noisy work can take place.

In most cases, this notice will restrict the hours at which noise audible at the site boundary can take place to between 08:00am and 6:00pm Monday to Friday, 08:00am to 1:00pm on Saturday and at no time on Sundays, Bank or Public Holidays.

If you have problems with a construction site, contact the Environmental Protection Unit on 0208 207 7435
