Draft noise action plans: consultation

Introduction

The European Noise Directive (END) was adopted in 2004 and requires member states to bring about measures which are intended to avoid, prevent or reduce, on a prioritised area basis, the harmful effects, including annoyance due to the exposure to environmental noise. The Directive was transposed through the Environmental Noise (Scotland) Regulations 2006.

This consultation applies to Scotland only and seeks the views of those individuals and / or organisations that hold an interest in noise pollution.
