The law accepts that there can be a lot of noise from building sites that just cannot be helped. The Council would usually suggest the following operating times for construction work:

  • Monday to Friday: 8am to 6pm
  • Saturdays: 8am to 1pm
  • Sunday & Bank Holidays: No noisy works

However, there are some situations where the Council would allow some flexibility with these hours, these can include:

  • Health and safety reasons
  • Road traffic reasons
  • An agreed start time conditioned in planning
  • individual circumstance
