Annex 3 - Conditions attached after a hearing by the licensing authority
1. Noise from amplified and non-amplified music, singing and speech arising from regulated entertainment at the premises shall not be audible inside habitable rooms of noise sensitive properties in the vicinity.
Informative Note:
For the purpose of providing an objective standard to assess whether this condition is being complied with or not, noise shall be considered not to be audible if:
a) the measurement of sound when music etc is on (expressed as LAeq, 1min) does not exceed the measurement of sound (expressed as LA90, 5min) when the music is off, and
b) the measurement of sound in each 1/3rd octave band between 40Hz and 160 Hz when music is on (expressed as L10, 1min) does not exceed the measurement of sound in the same 1/3rd octave bands between 40Hz and 160Hz when the music is off (expressed as L90, 5min).
All measurements to be taken within the habitable room normally occupied at the time in question, using a Type 1 integrating-averaging sound level meter compliant with BS EN 60804, with either windows open for normal ventilation or closed, whichever situation causes greater noise disturbance.
Licensees are advised to carry out a simple “sound check” outside the nearest noise sensitive property by listening to the music etc. coming from regulated entertainment. If the music etc. is clearly audible then it is likely that this condition is being breached. Steps should then be taken to reduce the volume of the noise.
2. All external doors to the rooms where regulated entertainment is being provided shall remain closed during the course of the entertainment, other than for normal access and egress. Windows shall also remain closed when Live and/or Recorded Music takes place.
3. All external doors (including fire-exit doors) shall not be propped open during the course of regulated entertainment.
4. No speaker used to relay amplified music, singing and speech provided as part of the regulated entertainment shall be positioned outside the building structure of the premises, nor shall any speaker be positioned internally such that the sound is intentionally directed through external doors, windows or other openings in the structure.
5. All amplified music, singing and speech provided as part of the regulated entertainment shall be played through a sound amplification system incorporating the sound limiting device that has been installed and set to the express satisfaction of the Responsible Authority for Public Nuisance (Wakefield MDC’s Environmental Protection Team). The sound limiting device shall be retained and maintained throughout the life of the licence and no alteration to the approved setting shall be made without the express approval of the Responsible Authority.
6. All amplified music, singing and speech provided as part of the regulated entertainment shall only be played through amplifiers connected to the socket outlets linked to the Sound Limiting Device.
7. Prominent, clear notices shall be displayed at all exits requesting customers and staff to respect the needs of local residents and leave the premises and area quietly.
