Defra Noise Modelling System
Stage in GSE Lifecyle
Primary stage : Create
Related stage(s) : Define/Design
Defra is building a digital noise modelling system to map exposure to noise across England.
The model will be capable of:
- Producing noise exposure maps to meet existing obligations for mapping road, rail and some industrial noise under the Environmental Noise (England) Regulations 2006
- Defra is building an innovative digital twin to map exposure to noise across England
- Producing noise exposure data for the Public Health Outcomes Framework and the 25 Year Environment Plan
- Uploading additional datasets – e.g. areas of greater detail; multiple pollutants
- Scenario planning and evidence development
BODY
- Defra & other government departments/agencies
- Designated public sector users (local authorities; highways/railway authorities)
- The general public, who will be able to view the results
