Technical guidance for the assessment of noise emissions from onshore wind turbines provides advice to local authorities across the UK for appraising planning applications for onshore wind developments.

We're seeking views on updates to bring guidance into line with available evidence; developments in turbine technology and wind turbine noise assessment methodologies; and government policies on noise and net zero.
