Appendix G- Environmental Noise Assessment · MCU23/0078

Notes: Day & Evening 7am-10pm, Night 10pm-7am. Predicted noise levels that exceed criteria are shown in ‘bold and
underlined’ font.
For the onsite receivers, due to the close proximity of vehicle movements and outdoor dining to the onsite
receiver facades, exceedances at the external façades are observed. The recommendation is to provide the
dwellings with façade treatment to achieve a minimum total noise reduction of 25 to allow the onsite
residential dwellings to achieve the recommended internal noise criteria with facades closed.
Refer to Section 7 for recommended noise mitigation measures.

6.4.2 Background Creep (EPP)
Table 14 presents the predicted background creep noise levels at the nearest sensitive receivers. Background
creep applies to offsite receivers.
