If noise is persistent, ongoing and falls within our remit, it can potentially be deemed a statutory nuisance and something we can investigate. Please use the reporting form to see what we can help with and for advice on who else can help.
Before reporting a noise nuisance to us we recommend speaking to the person causing it as they may not be aware of the issue.
If this is not successful or where individuals are not approachable, think about writing to them and if this does not work, then why not try contacting the free mediation service we partner with, who can assist you in communicating with your neighbour. Please read their privacy notice.
We recommend phoning them on 01323 442781 to discuss their services before you report the problem to us.
If you are experiencing problems from your neighbour and either of you are privately renting or social housing tenants, the issues should be reported to your landlord first.
You can also take your own action through the magistrate’s court.
Please note, anonymous complaints cannot be processed.
