Dear Planning Team

RE: 5/2025/0108
Units 6 & 7 Batford Mill Lower Luton Road Harpenden Hertfordshire Al5 5Bz
Extend the approved building to change two of the approved units to family units to create one more residential unit to planning permission 5/2022/0269 for Demolition of existing industrial unit and provision of 140sqm of class A1 retail and class D2 assembly and leisure space and new dwellings compromising a mix of one, two and three- bedroom flats and six dwelling houses, new cycle storage and transformer housing, associate parking and landscaping (part retrospective)

I have noted that the submitted environmental noise assessment report ref ENV232-HARP-002 is dating back to 2019.
Within the last 6 years there were a few changes to the local environment which may have had an effected on the noise levels within the area. As such the initial measurements taken in 2019 used as the base line within the report may no longer be suitable.

As such I would suggest to provide an updated environmental noise assessment reflecting the current sound levels. 

Kind regards
