Blake’s Noise Impact Assessment Executive Summary Cairn Homes Properties Ltd. intends to apply for planning permission for development of student accommodation and residential buildings at the Blake’s site, Stillorgan, Co. Dublin. A noise impact assessment has been undertaken in order to predict the glazing type requirements for compliance with relevant internal noise limits. Baseline noise surveys were undertaken at five locations at the site boundary over daytime and night-time in order to capture the noise levels on site. Measured noise levels were dominated by traffic noise. Predictions of internal noise levels were made based on the sound reduction values from various types of glazing (all double paned). These levels are compared to internal noise limits, to ensure compliance. The assessment has demonstrated that the desired intrusive noise levels can be achieved using a standard double glazing unit such as Glazing Type 2. As the detailed design progresses and final glazing selections become available, they will be reviewed to ensure that they provide an equivalent (or better) level of performance. This is expected to provide sufficient sound reductions to achieve good compliance with the internal noise design levels. It is proposed to provide a standby generator at the location of the ESB substation to the south of the site. The generator is standby and only operates in the event of power failure and during testing. 1 Introduction Cairn Homes Properties Ltd. intends to apply for planning permission for development at the Blake’s Site in Stillorgan, Co. Dublin. The site is bound to the north by the Lower Kilmacud Road, to the east by the N11 dual-carriageway, to the west by The Hill Road and to the south by a privately owned residence and garden. The development will consist of the demolition of the existing buildings, associated infrastructure and car parking areas on the site to allow for the construction of student accommodation and residential buildings. Ancillary retail, restaurant/café and public spaces are also proposed. This noise impact assessment has been prepared to form part of the planning application for the Blake`s development. The purpose of this report is to assess the requirements for glazing types along the façades of the proposed development to ensure that internal noise design levels are complied with. This is achieved by undertaking baseline noise monitoring and applying reduction factors at specific frequencies, based on design standards. The predicted internal noise levels are then compared to appropriate standards and compliance is stated.

INTERNAL\4-03 DESIGN\4-03-02 CONSULTING\NOISE\BLAKES NOISE\BLAKES INWARD NOISE ASSESSMENT REPORT ISSUE 2.DOCX Cairn Homes Properties Ltd. Blake’s Noise Impact Assessment The focus of this report is on the noise transfer into the proposed building through windows, with some discussion on vents. These will be the main sources of environmental noise transfer into the building. The assessment also considers the potential impact of the proposed generator on adjoining residential property. 2 Methodology 2.1 Introduction This section outlines the assessment methodology, including the noise design levels, the sound reduction values applied in the impact assessment and the baseline monitoring methodology. 2.2 Assessment Methodology The assessment undertaken predicts the internal noise levels that would be expected in a building based on baseline data with specific glazing reduction factors applied. These factors are based on the type of glazing used i.e. single, double, pane thickness etc. and are taken from BS 6262:2005 Part 2 Glazing for buildings – Code of practice for energy, light and sound outlines sound reduction. The calculated internal values were then compared to design levels for various land uses presented in BS 8223:2014 Guidance on sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings. The assessment considers four scenarios, all double glazed of varying thickness. 2.2.1 Noise design levels BS 8233 specifics noise design levels for each type of property use. Table 1 outlines design level ranges that are applicable to the proposed development. Table 1: Noise design level ranges for varying land uses/activity Primary land use Activity Design level range (dB) LAeq,T Residential Daytime resting (Daytime) 35 Night-time sleeping (Night-time) 30 Education Work requiring concentration 35-40 2.3 Sound reduction values BS 6262:2005 outlines sound reduction values that can be applied to external noise levels in determining internal noise. The reduction values outlined are based on the type of window glazing applied to the building and are a function of the glazing type, thickness and gap spacing. The use of glazing presents a worst case façade for noise reduction with higher reductions being achieved through other facades e.g. blockwork, insulation products.

Blake’s Noise Impact Assessment Sound reduction values are applied to each third-octave sound pressure level obtained from monitored data. BS 6262 states that “for general building acoustics, the octave frequency bands are 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1000Hz, 2000Hz, 4000Hz”. Therefore, these octave bands have been selected for the application of reduction values. Table 2 presents reduction levels based on the installation of double glazing, in accordance with BS 6262, as double glazing is proposed for the development.

The survey was conducted in general accordance with ISO 1996: Acoustics – Description, measurement and assessment of environmental noise (Part 1 & Part 2) (ISO, 2003 & 2007). Cognisance was also given to the Guidance Document Guidance Note for Noise: Licence Applications, Surveys and Assessments in relation to Scheduled Activities (NG4), (EPA, 2012). This document provides overall guidance on carrying out noise surveys including setting up the noise meter, time periods, and survey lengths. Daytime is defined as 07:00 to 19:00, evening time as 19:00- 23:00 and night time is defined as 23:00 to 07:00. 2.4.2 Survey locations Five monitoring locations (N1-N5) were chosen along the proposed development boundary in order to quantify the baseline noise environment for the site. These locations are representative of the worst case receptors in terms of noise exposure i.e. due to the close proximity to the N11 national road and the R825 link road, or both. Long term (24-hr) monitoring was carried out at the eastern boundary of the proposed development. Long term monitoring was unable to be undertaken along the northern boundary of the proposed development as no suitable safe location Report Ref | Issue 1 | 6 November 2017 | Arup Page 3 \\GLOBAL\EUROPE\DUBLIN\JOBS\254000\254226-00\4.

  • M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy Scheme
    M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy Scheme Environmental Impact Statement Volume 2 Main Text Ryan Hanley WSP M11 Gorey to Enniscorthy Scheme Environmental Impact Statement Volume 2 Main Text PREAMBLE Wexford County Council (WCC), as directed by the National Roads Authority (NRA), proposes to realign the N11 national primary road from south of Gorey (Clogh) to south of Enniscorthy (Oilgate). The realigned route will comprise the provision of approximately 26 km of M11 Mainline, with a standard dual motorway carriageway type, along with approximately 1 Km of N11 Mainline, with standard single carriageway type. The proposed M11/N11 Mainline will be located to the east of the existing N11 and will bypass Camolin, Ferns and Enniscorthy. In addition it is proposed to provide approximately 8 km of single carriageway to bypass Enniscorthy to the west by linking the existing N11 to the existing N30. Approximately 4 km of dual carriageway link road will connect the existing N11 / N80 junction north of Enniscorthy to the M11 Mainline. Comprising four lanes over a stretch of approximately 31 km, and a bridge with a span of approximately 153m in length, the requirement to carry out an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is mandatory for the proposed scheme under Articles 8(a) and 8(b) of the Roads Regulations, 1994 (the prescribed types of proposed road development prescribed for the purposes of Section 50(1)(a)(iii) of the Roads Act 1993) and Second Schedule (Article 25) of the EC (Environmental Impact Assessment) (Amendment) Regulations, 1999 (S.I.

PL27.249081 Inspector’s Report Page 1 of 43 1.0 Site Location and Description The site is positioned to the west of the N11 and in broad terms is located between the town of Bray to the north-east and the village of Enniskerry which is about 3.5km to the west. This site is in the general area known as Fassaroe and the nearest national road junction is Bray Central, which is about 750m north of the site. North of Bray Central the national road is a motorway (M11). A further 4km to the north approximately is the merge / diverge point of the M11 and the M50. The site may be described as being at the entry point to the county of Wicklow from the north (Dublin). Its location at the junction of the Enniskerry Road (R117) identifies the site as a gateway to the village of Enniskerry, Powerscourt and the Wicklow Mountains. The stated site area is 2.28 ha, which is about half of the overall landholding. The remainder of the holding is in two plots, one being the lands associated with St Valery’s and the other being a small square plot of land, which contains the existing site entrance.
