5 Housing Policy DM 29 Noise A. All development proposals shall demonstrate how potential adverse noise impact between dwellings will be mitigated by housing layout and design. B. The layout of adjacent dwellings and the location of lifts and circulation spaces is required to limit the transmission of noise to sound sensitive rooms within dwellings. C. Sufficient sound insulation with reasonable resistance to airborne sounds shall be installed in all walls and floors between flats and public or communal areas. Floors between dwellings and between dwellings and public or communal areas should also have sufficient sound insulation to ensure resistance to the impact of sound. D. In addition, sound insulation shall be provided to any internal walls which separate proposed individual dwellings from others and to walls which separate dwellings from any parts of the building which will be in public or communal use, eg. Hallways and staircases. Again, the level of sound insulation is required to be provided to a standard greater than the standard specified in the ‘Building Regulations 2003 Approved Document E: Resistance to the Passage of Sound’. E. In high density development or mixed-use development, a higher standard of noise insulation will be sought. 'Floating floor' or independent ceiling construction is required to separate a residential dwelling from another residential dwelling or commercial development, eg. restaurant or shop, within the same building. 5.0.36 Noise is a major cause of stress in cities, particularly when an individual has no control over it. Traffic, neighbours and even other occupants within a home can all be sources of excessive noise. There is a disproportionate effect on elderly and disabled people and those with young children. Some residential developments built in noisy locations have a high level of acoustic insulation, however, once a window is opened the impact of noise can be excessive. Windows should be able to be opened to allow natural ventilation and still provide a reasonable level of noise insulation. 5.0.37 Building regulations provide targets for sound reduction; however, these are not necessarily sufficient for high density living such as that typically found within Islington. The location and internal layout of residential accommodation is important to ensure individuals have opportunities in their home to not be disturbed by noise nuisance from their fellow occupants or the outside environment. 5.0.38 When designing buildings acoustic conditions need to be considered. Noise from the street and adjoining properties is an important cause of stress, sleep disturbance and friction between neighbours. Internal layouts should be planned to limit the effect of noise from 70 Islington Council Development Management Policies - Direction of Travel
5 Housing adjoining properties in sound sensitive rooms. All new housing within Islington should be built with acoustic insulation and tested to be higher than the current Building Regulations standards. Policy DM 30 Sheltered Housing and Care Homes A. The council will support the provision of sheltered housing and care homes provided the development: i) will be suitable for the intended occupiers in terms of the standard of facilities, the level of independence, and provision of care and/or support; and ii) will be accessible to public transport, shops, services and community facilities appropriate to the needs of the intended occupiers; and B. The council will resist development which involves the loss of floorspace in sheltered housing and care homes unless either: i) adequate replacement accommodation will be provided that satisfies A (i) to (iii) above; or ii) it can be demonstrated that there is a surplus over a long-term of this housing type in this area of Islington. C. 10% of all new housing, calculated against habitable rooms, is designed to be wheelchair accessible, or easily adaptable for residents who are wheelchair users. The wheelchair accessible units should be provided across all tenures and deliver appropriate unit sizes. 5.0.39 Sheltered housing is an important form of housing which enables people, particularly the elderly, to live independently with the reassurance of someone to call on in emergencies. Some sheltered housing schemes can offer an extra level of care for people who need a bit more daily assistance but do not need the level of care provided in a care home. Policy DM 31 HMOs & Student Accommodation A. All new Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and student accommodation must be built to Islington's Flexible Home standards (as defined in the Accessible Housing SPD) and 10% of bed spaces designed to be wheelchair accessible. The 10% wheelchair accessible standard rooms must be fully fitted from the outset. HMOs Development Management Policies - Direction of Travel Islington Council 71
