Common questions

What counts as a statutory nuisance?

Noise that unreasonably and substantially interferes with the use or enjoyment of a home. It doesn't have to be loud. Persistent low-level noise can qualify.

What will the council do?

They'll investigate, potentially install monitoring equipment, and can issue a noise abatement notice. Breaching a notice is a criminal offence with fines up to £5,000.

Should I talk to my neighbour first?

If safe to do so, yes. Many noise issues are resolved through a polite conversation. Keep a record of the conversation in case you need to escalate.
