Respondent: Mr Marc Zwierzanski

Representation Summary:

5 - 5G NOISE, LIGHT & AIR QUALITY

Use of mass air source heat pumps is not acceptable due to the low pitch hum emitted by these units, especially during periods of cold weather. The sound carries at night especially and would be a source of noise pollution. A hotel premises would also likely contribute to increased background noise from air conditioning etc. Serious and careful consideration to the problems associated with these new technologies is a must! Add this noise, together with noise from vehicle access to the proposed industrial site is highly likely to cause undue distress to residents of near by local villages.
