High-Noise Sports and Activities

Particular attention should be paid to those development proposals which generate high levels of noise such as motorsports, shooting, water skiing and paintball adventure games. These activities are more likely to conflict with, disturb and cause nuisance to nearby noise sensitive uses (For example schools, hospitals, places of worship, and residential neighbourhoods). Such sports or activities can also be disruptive to farm animals and wildlife and may also have a detrimental effect on the natural environment, as well as local character. These developments must only be permitted where there is no unacceptable level of disturbance.
