4 Results and Discussion
 4.1 Summary of findings
 No major acoustical issues were identified during testing.                                          G51 Check Item 47 ☐


 Compliance should be monitored at the CEMLs where possible. The
 purpose of this is to provide flexibility to the licensee with regard to the
 specific configuration of the venue, provided that the limits at the CEMLs
 are not exceeded. This approach also aims to minimise cumbersome
 noise conditions, such as “XX dBA when X doors and X windows are
 closed, etc.”.



 4.2 Recommended close external noise limits
 Presented below are the summarised noise limits at the CEMLs, based upon the calculations
 provided in Appendix B – Calculation Summaries. The limits presented indicate the calculated
 level limit for the venue operating configuration as described in Section 3.7. Measurements
 should be made at the CEML in either dBA (before 10:00PM) or dBC (after 10:00PM) using
 ‘Fast’ time weighting.

 4.3 Recommended specific licensed premises area noise limits
 Presented below are the summarised noise limits at the SLPAs, based upon the calculations
 provided in Appendix B – Calculation Summaries. The limits presented indicate the calculated
 level limit for the venue operating configuration as described in Section 3.7. Measurements
 should be made at the SLPA in either dBA (before 10:00PM) or dBC (after 10:00PM) using
 ‘Fast’ time weighting.
