The existing planning legislation has been
changed and it’s great news for the music venues of England. The changes protect live music spaces from
new developments, especially to deal with new neighbour noise complaints. These changes will come into effect from 6th
April and the Music Venue Trust explained, “local planning authorities will
have to consider noise impacts on new residents from existing businesses under
an amended permitted development right.”
This means that from 6th April
if a developer wants to build near a music venue they will have their “noise
impact” of the development looked at by the council. Developers and the local authorities will now
have to work together to protect the live music venue or find somewhere else to develop.
