Noise nuisance

Excessive noise can make life a misery. Our Environmental Protection team investigate noise from commercial  businesses such as pubs, clubs and factories.

The service is available to everyone but for legal reasons we cannot accept anonymous complaints.  The details of the complainant will be kept confidential during the investigation, although if the evidence obtained shows the existence of a statutory nuisance a statement from yourself will be required to support any action taken by this Department. This may require you to give evidence in court. In cases where noise nuisance has been proved an abatement notice will be served. If this notice is breached the perpetrator can be taken to court and prosecuted and a fine imposed. The fine can be up to £20,000.

If you are bothered by commercial noise problems, phone us on 0113 222 4406 during office hours, (8am – 6pm Monday to Friday) or 0113 3950143 (at all other times).

Please note if you email us or report noise online we aim to respond within 5 working days. To report urgent issues you should call us.
