Is anyone on here an Environmental Health Officer or fully understands the recommendations when it comes to noise pollution?
Many years ago we moved close to a nice quiet country pub, that now has a licence to play live music.
For a few years this has not been an issue, but since a new manager's arrival this year, the live music at weekends is from 4pm through to 11pm or 12pm under special licence and is significantly louder.
2 separate phones, albeit with non calibrated apps are recording noise levels constantly between 90 and 95 decibels.
We have spoken to the manager without any resolution, reported to our Council who have just stated the pub has a licence for music.
Surely there should be a recommended noise level for outdoor pub music in a residential area?
