Control of noise during operation

21.—(1) No part of the authorised development shall be brought into use until a written scheme providing for the monitoring of noise generated during the operation of the authorised development has been submitted to and approved by the relevant planning authority.

(2) The scheme shall provide for monitoring at the locations shown on Figure 4 of the North Killingholme Power Project: Outline Operational Noise Compliance Methodology (January 2014) and the method of noise measurement (which shall accord with BS 4142, an equivalent successor standard or other agreed noise measurement methodology appropriate to the circumstances). The scheme shall be implemented to establish baseline noise conditions.
