Representation ID: 3928

Respondent: Mrs Alison Gray

Representation Summary:

Good to see this in a policy.
I would have liked the sentence at 4.11.1, 'The Council recognises the contribution of tranquillity to conserving the qualities of the North Downs National Landscape,' to be included in the policy.
The reversing alarm of a vineyard vehicle travels over huge distances through the tranquillity of the KDNL and frequently continues for many hours. Is there any provision within areas of tranquillity for requiring White Sound Reversing Alarms (approved by the Noise Abatement Society) be used, as part of this policy?
