Planned maintenance, Saturday 14 - Sunday 15 March

The planned maintenance will affect the ‘report it’ forms, licensing forms, planning payment forms and the planning application search. Please try outside these times.

Transport noise

3. Ice cream van noise

It is possible that noise from ice cream vehicles could cause a statutory nuisance within the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, but this is extremely unlikely.

However, there are circumstances under which this activity is a direct offence under section 62 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

We will need to know exactly where the activity is taking place, when it may be witnessed by our officers and any other relevant information (such as the name of company involved, what is being advertised and how).

Make a complaint about noise.
