• CONDITIONS IMPOSED BY ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH

   

    1.               The licence holder, representative or noise control consultant shall conduct regular assessments (hourly) of the noise coming from the festival site and shall take steps to reduce the level of noise where it is likely to cause a disturbance to local residents. A written record shall be made of those assessments in a log book kept for that purpose and shall include the time and date of the checks, the person making them and the results including any remedial action. Two monitoring locations will be used and these are shown on the attached plan and they are:

  (a)              car park to front of Victoria Cottage Hospital, Ewanrigg Road, Maryport, CA15 8EJ

  (b)              land adjacent to 2 Alne Road, Maryport, CA15 8EP

    2.              The use of noise limiters are advised for the stages as this sets a maximum volume for the music. It is also important to set maximum levels for the low frequency levels (bass) as these cause the most disturbance to local residents.

    3.               One of the most frequently encountered problems is that an unnecessarily large amount of sound equipment is provided, which makes effective control very difficult. The output of the sound system(s) should be suitable for the size of the event, and as a general rule it should be calculated on the basis of 1KW per 100 people in the audience expected.

    4.               The noise levels emanating from the site for all live amplified music/entertainment when  measured at the monitoring locations (as specified in condition 1) shall not exceed an equivalent continuous sound pressure level (LAeq) of 60 dBA. In particular, this will apply to the 63Hz and 125Hz octave frequency bands.

    5.               A Noise Management Plan must be submitted to the Environmental Health at least two weeks prior to the first day of the event. This must cover all aspects of the day and in particular, steps to be taken to manage noise pollution, number of stages, location, orientation and operational times of each stage. This must be received and agreed by the department before the event commences. It should also include details of the sound system being used, noise predictions to assess noise levels at noise sensitive properties surrounding the event site and details of sound control and monitoring scheme that will be put into place to minimise noise levels to achieve compliance with the conditions of this licence.

    6.               A contact name and number should be provided to the Environmental Health Department prior to the event and it is recommended that there is a letter drop at the nearest noise sensitive properties and Victoria Hospital before the event providing a contact name and number for complaints. These complaints should be logged and the Duty Manager will investigate the noise and take appropriate action to locate and reduce the source and will then continue to monitor the situation and provide a report to both complainant and the Environmental Health Department. A copy of this letter must be sent to Environmental Health at least two weeks prior to the first day of the event.

    7.               If an officer of Environmental Health believes that the levels audible outside the premises are unacceptable then, at the request of the Officer, the noise control consultant shall adjust the volume of sound accordingly to the requirements of the Officer.

    8.               If any lighting were required on site then light from or on the premises and any other light under the control of the premises shall not cause nuisance to any nearby premises.

    9.               There shall be no external live music beyond 9pm.

  10.               Over the duration of the event the equivalent continuous sound pressure level (Event Leq) in any part of the audience area should not exceed 107dB(A).

  11.               The peak sound pressure level in the public area shall not exceed 120dB and shall normally be below 100dB for the duration of the event.

  12.               The audience should not be allowed within 3m of any loud speaker. Where this is not practical and suitable evidence of justification is provided, the overall music sound levels can be modified so that people closer than 3m to the loud speakers are not exposed to an Event Leq of more than 107dB(A) or peak sound pressure levels of 120dB. Under no circumstances should the audience and loudspeaker separation distance be less than 1m.

  13.              A suitable electrical certificate signed in by a competent person stating that any electrical installations used for regulated entertainment have been inspected and tested and are in a safe working condition shall be available on site for inspection by an authorised officer of the licensing authority .

  The electrical certificate shall include

  (a)              the earthing of any generators

  (b)              the power supply and installation

  (c)              the lighting circuit and equipment

  14.              Each socket outlet or individual socket outlets used for regulated entertainment shall be protected by an integral residual current device (RCD) having a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA (0.03 amps). Every such circuit and RCD shall be inspected by a competent person prior to the event. A satisfactory and valid inspection report shall be available on site for inspection by an authorised officer of the licensing authority and be retained by the licence holder for a minimum of six months from the end of the event.

  15.              Each electrical socket and device provided for regulated entertainment must have a suitable ingress protection rating (IP rating) for it’s location on the site.

  16.              The event organiser must ensure all temporary structures are erected and dismantled in a safe manner by a competent person and maintained in a safe condition for the duration of the event.

  17.              Based on a 50:50 split ( male : female) the minimum toilet provision must be.

                Female               - 1 wc per 100 females on site

                Male               - 1 wc per 500 males on site plus 1 urinal per 150 males onsite.

                Additional, adequate and suitable toilet facilities shall be provided for the use of disabled individuals.

                The toilets shall be indicated by suitable signage and properly and efficiently lit at all times.

                The toilets and associated facilities shall be kept at all times in good order and repair and properly and effectively cleansed and maintained through out the duration of the event.

  18.              Adequate arrangements must be made for medical, ambulance and first aid management. The names of the first aiders must be identified and documented. Copies of individual’s first aid certificates must be available for inspection by an authorised officer of the licensing authority.

  19.              The licensing authority must be notified of the trading name, contact details and registered authority for every food vendor at least one month prior to the event start date. All food vendors must be registered with the local authority where the business originates.

  20.              Adequate provision must be made for the collection and suitable disposal of all waste water from bars and food vendors.

  21.              The audience should not be allowed within 3 meters of any speaker. Where this is not practical and suitable evidence of justification is provided the overall music sound levels can be modified so that people closer than 3 meters to the loud speakers are not exposed to an event Leq of more than 107dB(A) or peak sound pressure levels of 120 dB. Under no circumstances should the distance between audience and loudspeaker be less than 1 meter.
