Mayer Brown was instructed by One Housing to prepare a Noise Impact Assessment to accompany a planning application for SoHostel. In addition to the backpacker accommodation, the scheme included a number of ancillary uses including a coffee shop and a roof terrace.

Mayer Brown undertook detailed environmental noise survey work to provide the advice necessary to develop the scheme in line with the City of Westminster’s local planning policies – in particular, the mitigation necessary to control noise intrusion and control noise from new building services installations. Mayer Brown Limited also provided pro-active, expert advice during the consultation stage of project to address any concerns raised by the local residents and statutory consultees.
