Modern turbines have been designed to be very quiet, leading noise consultants the Hayes McKenzie Partnership have been appointed in order to ensure that the scheme is compliant with guidance from central government on how much noise can be produced by wind energy developments. The Hayes McKenzie Partnership has discussed their approach with the Environmental Health Department at Wokingham Borough Council and has now completed monitoring of existing noise levels at a number of local homes near to the site. This equipment has been recording noise levels as they are now so that any changes to local noise profiles can be accurately modeled, enabling us to ensure that any future turbine development will not affect the amenity of local residents. Preliminary analysis of the data collected so far, has found that any noise from the turbines will be well within levels permitted by the government.
