AIRO has accumulated considerable experience in
the particular requirements of preparing and presenting evidence
on noise in legal and quasi-legal proceedings. AIRO's senior
personnel are conversant with the formidable range of Statutes,
Standards and Codes of Practice which are involved. Cases in
which we have given evidence include planning and public inquiries,
planning applications and appeals, Land Tribunals, Noise Abatement
proceedings under The Control of Pollution Act, court cases involving
alleged nuisance or noise induced deafness, and hearings for music
and dancing licences.
AIRO's initial assessment will usually involve
noise measurements and an appraisal of the circumstances; discussions
between the interested parties, for example the noise producer,
local residents and officers of the Local Authority. Such discussions
frequently resolve the problem without the need for further litigation.
However, if required, AIRO will prepare detailed technical reports
and written statements, provide technical guidance to the client
and legal advisors, and provide an expert witness to give evidence,
subject to cross examination, during legal proceedings.
