Camilty Wind Farm • Deliveries should be programmed to arrive during daytime hours only. Care should be taken when unloading vehicles to minimise noise. Where possible, delivery vehicles should be routed so as to minimise disturbance to local residents. Delivery vehicles should be prohibited from waiting on the highway or within the site with their engines running. 8.6.7 All plant items should be properly maintained and operated according to manufacturers recommendations in such a manner as to avoid causing excessive noise. All plant should be sited so that the noise impact at nearby noise sensitive properties is minimised. Local hoarding, screens or barriers should be erected as necessary to shield particularly noisy activities. 8.6.8 Problems concerning noise from construction works can sometimes be avoided by taking a considerate and neighbourly approach to relations with the local residents. Works should not be undertaken outside of the core daytime hours, unless absolutely necessary. 8.6.9 All neighbours potentially affected by the works should be informed well in advance of such works using a leaflet drop giving full details of the hours during which the works are to be undertaken and also providing an appropriate contact name and number to whom complaints should be addressed. 8.6.10 Providing that measures to control construction noise in so far as is reasonably practicable are enforced, then the residual noise impact after mitigation during construction will be negligible. Operational Phase 8.6.11 No mitigation measures are required. Decommissioning Phase 8.6.12 Noise from decommissioning is likely to be similar to that generated during construction. Given the longevity of the development, however, a noise assessment should be undertaken prior to the commencement of decommissioning works and appropriate noise control measures at the time identified and agreed with the relevant authority. 8.7 Assessment of Residual Effects 8.7.1 Potential noise effects during construction, operation and decommissioning of the proposed wind farm have been assessed. 8.7.2 During construction and decommissioning, effects at all nearby receptors are predicted at worst to be slightly adverse. It is considered that adopting the principles of Best Practicable Means will provide sufficient mitigation to render any residual effects negligible and, as such, not significant under the terms of the EIA Regulations. 8.7.3 Noise from operation of the proposed wind farm as an individual entity would comply with the requirements of ESTU-R-97 at all residential locations and, as such, operational wind farm noise is considered not significant under the terms of the EIA Regulations. Cumulative levels are discussed in the following section. March 2013 8-25 ES Chapter 8 Noise Copyright Partnerships for Renewables Development Co. Ltd 2013 ©
