Appendix C - Noise assessment

Introduction

This appendix presents the outcome of the noise predictions undertaken to support the qualitative assessment presented in this report. Areas with a Basic Noise Level (BNL) change of less than 0.5 dBA and a population density of less than 500 people per km are not listed. The tables show the population density of a nearby area likely to experience the noise level change and the associated average speed change in the nearest road segment.

Option 1 – Noise Appraisal

A90

Table C-1 presents a comparison of Do Something 2045 versus Do Minimum 2045, Option 1, without Policy, 100% compliance.

Noise level changes indicate that there is no benefit or impact with this option, with a maximum predicted reduction in noise level of 0.6 dBA due to the small changes in average speed.

There are not expected to be any adverse noise impacts on this single carriageway route for Option 1, without policy, 100% compliance.

Table C-2 presents a comparison of Do Something 2045 versus Do Minimum 2045, Option 2, without Policy, realistic compliance.

Noise level changes indicate that there is no benefit or impact with this option, with a maximum predicted reduction in noise level of 0.4 dBA due to the smaller changes in average speed compared to 100% compliance scenario.

There are not expected to be any adverse noise impacts on this motorway route for Option 2, without policy, realistic compliance.

Table C-3 presents a comparison of Do Something 2045 versus Do Minimum 2045, Option 2, with Policy, 100% compliance.

Changes are anticipated to be minor beneficial, with a maximum predicted reduction in noise level of 1.1 dBA due to the changes in average speed and traffic volumes.

There are not expected to be any adverse noise impacts on this motorway route for Option 2, with policy, 100% compliance.
