Frequently Asked Questions about Noise

Who can I report noisy neighbours/barking dogs to?

If your neighbour's dog is barking so much as it interferes substantially with your well being, comfort or enjoyment of your property, it could be classed as a statutory nuisance. You can tell a community warden about your neighbour's dog or follow the advice for statutory nuisance.

What you can do?

• Tell us about your complaint - complete the online pollution control service request or complaint form.
• Keep a diary record - print and complete a diary sheet for odour/noise/smoke/light complaints.
