We bring creative thinking to housing provision. We cover the basics with no fuss, and go further, to help co-create a solution that will meet new UK Planning Policy and tackle Agent of Change where it impacts existing businesses.
Our team delivers quality residential and RRP housing development by taking a holistic view, looking at issues such as:
-
Are you near existing noise-making businesses that might claim 'Agent of Change'?
​
-
What might be the mitigation burden of that?
​
-
How might the acoustic separation standards internally between dwellings, and also commercial in mixed-use, be achieved economically with light structures? ​
​
-
Ensuring sustainability is integral to the project and an option for you to take through alternatives that we will flag through our advice on the use of eco-materials and low-energy solutions. ​
​
-
How ventilation will work in a noisy environment to make passive ventilation workable ​
​
-
How to create protected amenity areas to provide quality environments
​
-
How to use sound to create valued soundscapes within the development that will provide community focus and identity
​
We steer clients through complex planning and legislation processes with an eye on using sound to create better places to live, learn and belong going into the future.
Case Study: Whiteley Village, Surrey
Development of Whiteley Village, a pioneering example of a planned retirement village, including 44 new 1 and 2-bed apartments as a result of the refurbishment of a Grade II building. This included a care hub and an atrium to support a community gathering point. Sustainable Acoustics worked to deliver good sound insulation and a high-quality environment in which people can live, be cared for and socialise.
