192 Mayor of London The Mayor’s Ambient Noise Strategy 29 Rajaratnam SMW, Arendt J. ‘Health in a 24-hour society’ Lancet, No. 358, 2001, pp 999-1005 30 ‘Sound Control of Homes’ BRE/CIRIA, 1993 31 Wilson M, Nicol F. ‘Noise in Offices and Urban Canyons’ Institute of Acoustics Proceedings, Vol 23(5), 2001, pp 41-44 32 HACAN ClearSkies. ‘London’s Blighted Parks’ London, October 2000 33 Available from www.cpre.org 34 See paragraph 3.245 of the London Plan. The Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC will require preparation of action plans, purposes of which include ‘preserving environmental noise quality where it is good’. It includes very broad definitions of ‘quiet areas’, distinguishing between those in urban and rural areas, and implying an absolute noise level in urban areas. Cross-European Working Groups are developing guidance on interpreting the Directive. This strategy promotes work on ‘Areas of Relative Tranquillity or Special Soundscape Interest’ in this context. It aims at exploring the value of areas that provide respite within their urban context, even if they do not (yet) meet an absolute noise level criterion. It also seeks to take account of sounds which may have positive value to people. One parallel is with development in the 1980s of urban biodiversity policy, where the need was seen, from an equalities perspective, for areas of local value, accessible to local communities, even if these did not meet thresholds of absolute scientific value.
