                                                                    (7am 6pm) (6pm 10pm) (10pm 7am)
                                                                        -                  -                      -




       Allowable exceedence of existing LA90 value                    5dBA               5dBA                 3dBA

       Resulting measured noise limits, LAeq                          48dBA             45dBA                43dBA




       Final component noise limits LA90                              43dBA             40dBA                40dBA




         Examining the noise limits presented in Table 6, it can be seen that the strictest component noise
         limits would be:


                .
                     Day time: 43dBA LA90

                .    Evening time: 40dBA LA90

                .    Night time: 40dBA LA90




8        NOISE FROM CARPARKING




         Car park noise consists of short duration transient events such as doors slamming, cars starting,

         accelerating from rest and moving slowly at constant speed. As the proposed shopping centre
         includes speciality shops, which may include some fast food outlets, the car park areas may be

         used anytime during the day, evening and night periods.



         Noise from the car park can       potentially affect the amenity of the residential areas, located to the
         northwest, north and northeast of the shopping centre site.


8.1      Source data for car park noise


        Vehicles    using the car parks will consist of passenger cars, utilities and vans.                 Noise emissions

         from such vehicles have been          measured    at a     number of sites      over    a   number of low-speed

         manoeuvres. The typical noise emissions are summarised in Table 7.



                                 Table 7: Noise levels from low-speed manoeuvres

                                                                            ~max @ 10m

                                   Cars starting and accelerating                62

                               Cars moving slowly at constant speed              62
