Please Note: The licence conditions, relating to the prevention of public nuisance licensing objective, have been numbered for ease of reference and in order to indicate where specific conditions relate to each other.
1. Noise from Regulated Entertainment shall not be audible within potentially noise sensitive residential properties (assuming that residential windows are kept open to allow reasonable ventilation of the same) between 2300 and 1000 Hours on days 1, 2, 3 of the event, and all Regulated Entertainment shall cease at Midnight (00:00 Hours) on day 4.
2. Between 1200 to 2300 Hours the Music Noise Level (consisting of the combined noise from all arenas, stages, marquees or wandering performers) shall not exceed 65 dB LAeq 15 minutes as measured/calculated at a point 1 metre from the façade of any noise sensitive property. If the site is proposed to be used for between 4 and 12 Event Days per year the level of music noise shall not exceed 15dB(A) above the background noise L(A90) over a 15-minute period.
3. Between the hours of 1200 to 2300 Hours the low frequency component of the noise from any Regulated Entertainment shall be restricted to no more than 70 dB Leq 15 minutes within the 63 Hz and 125 Hz octave frequency bands so as to ensure that nearby properties are not exposed to undue noise from bass beats. This component of the noise shall be measured/calculated at a point 1 metre from the façade of any noise sensitive property. If the site is used for more than 3 event days this limit shall be reduced to 65dB Leq 15 minutes in the same octave bands.
4. No sound checks shall be carried out before 1000 Hours or after 1800 Hours on the day before the event starts or on the days of the event. No sound checks shall be a carried out at any other date or time.

From herein this suitably qualified and experienced person is referred to as the Festival Acoustician.
6. The Premises Licence Holder shall employ the Festival Acoustician to implement or oversee sound monitoring throughout the course of the festival.

If and when any of this monitoring suggests that any noise limits (as per Conditions 1, 2 and 3 above) are being exceeded at any potentially sensitive location this must be reported to the Festival Acoustician immediately. The Festival Acoustician will then ensure that the sound output (whether overall sound levels or sound at particular bass frequencies) of the relevant venue or venues is reduced quickly and efficiently (the reduction being implemented within five minutes of the results of the monitoring being reported to the same). Compliance with the relevant noise limits shall then be confirmed through further monitoring. Noise levels shall be measured with an Integrating Sound Level Meter complying with Type 2 or better of BS: 6698.
