Abstract

The intention of this Part is to protect occupants of a dwelling from excessive noise transmitted from other parts of a building as this can damage health. The requirements apply to walls and floors separating a dwelling from other parts of the same building in different occupation and from other adjoining buildings. External walls are controlled only to the extent necessary to reduce flanking transmission around the ends of separating walls and separating floors. They apply to balconies and roofs which are accessible, other than for maintenance, where they are above a dwelling.
