Peer Reviews & Local Authority Assistance
We have enjoyed an excellent working relationship with many Local Authority Environmental Health Departments for many years, providing a range of forms of technical assistance. Over the years we have provided formal and informal training to individuals and whole departments, helped Local Authorities formulate their own acoustic criteria and provided peer reviews of acoustic reports submitted to them. There are many EHO’s who know that if they would like a discussion about any acoustic matters they are facing, we are only a phone call away.
How We Can Help
We can provide any level of expert assistance needed, from informal phone calls and support to peer reviews of other reports submitted as part of a planning application, training sessions or professional witness evidence and attendance at Appeal.
We welcome discussion about the intricacies of any project and the potential difficulty of ensuring consent conditions are practicable, achievable and enforceable. David Garritt is a currently serving elected councillor for North Lincolnshire Council, providing direct experience of Local Authority processes and the challenges faced, while maintaining professional independence in all consultancy work.
If you are an Environmental Protection Officer and would like to discuss any aspect of acoustics that you are dealing with, or how we can assist on a more formal level, please do not hesitate to call us.
Our Background
For years we had the pleasure of teaching part of the Institute of Acoustics post graduate Diploma at Leeds Metropolitan and Beckett University. Steve taught the Noise and Vibration Control Module between 1983 and 2010, then David took over the role until the university stopped offering the course after the Coronavirus pandemic.
This means we have had the privilege of teaching and mentoring many Environmental Health Officers and Environmental Protection Officers the specialism of acoustics and happily this has continued into excellent working relationships. It also means that we understand the pressures that EHO’s / EPO’s face and also that obtaining these specialist qualifications in acoustics is more difficult due to time, budget and availability constraints.
