Welcome to the Site Suitability Indicator (SSI), as prepared by Noise Consultants Limited.

The SSI has been developed with the aim of visually presenting the potential suitability and associated 'noise risk' of sites in England for new residential development arising from road and railway sources which were included within strategic noise mapping under the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations.

The SSI, and the data therein, is not intended to replace or provide an authoritative interpretation of Government policy or industry guidance. The application and interpretation of the data presented is at the user discretion.

Further information on the scope and usage disclaimer are detailed here.

For direct enquiries please contact Noise Consultants at contact@noiseconsultants.co.uk or 01925 937 195.

The SSI has been developed by Noise Consultants Limited (NCL), an independent noise and vibration consultancy specialising in environmental noise and vibration management and assessment. NCL is part of a group of companies including Air Quality Consultants and Logika Consultants, specialising in providing high quality environmental solutions.

NCL would like to acknowledge the support provided by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) during the development of the SSI, along with the specialist input received from Acustica Limited.
