The Bertie Park Planning application includes a Noise Assessment Report. The new development will include 31 homes, a small play area for kids up to the age of 5, and a Multi Use Games area (MUGA)
The current MUGA is 40m away from all houses. The new houses will be 12m away. Measurements show that there could be problems.
OX place hope that the MUGA will be only used during the daytime; that noise from the MUGA won’t go on too long, or be too loud.
If things go wrong, they suggest:
- A simple way to report noise complaints, damage and/or misuse.
- Restricting when the MUGA can be used.
We have a recreation ground where young people of all ages can gather. They can shout, and scream, and let off steam. How long will it be long before the new residents are driven to put out the “no ball game” signs.
