From Planning Condition Discharge to Construction-Phase Compliance
Seneca Services gives you one point of contact for construction dust, noise and vibration documentation and Section 61 Prior Consent applications across London. We review your planning conditions and project requirements, identify what you need and coordinate the documents for condition discharge and construction-phase compliance.
Where an Air Quality and Dust Management Plan (AQDMP) or Construction Noise and Vibration Assessment (CNA/CNVA) is required, we manage its delivery by qualified external specialists. Seneca prepares the Section 61 application where needed and coordinates it with the specialist reports and any related construction management or logistics plans. This keeps working hours, plant, construction methods and control measures consistent across the documents and reduces the coordination your team has to do.
We can get involved before a Principal Contractor is appointed. We use the design and programme information available at that stage to identify what is needed and what the contractor will need to confirm. Once the contractor is appointed, we coordinate the updates needed for submission.
Construction Dust, Noise & Section 61
Documentation We Prepare and Coordinate
We prepare Section 61 Prior Consent applications and coordinate specialist dust, noise and vibration reports for planning condition discharge and construction-phase compliance.
Common local-authority requirements include Air Quality & Dust Management Plans (AQDMP), Construction Noise Assessments (CNA) and Section 61 Prior Consent Applications (S61).
Air Quality & Dust Management Plans
Air-quality and dust management plans assess the likely dust and particulate risks associated with demolition and construction activities and set out appropriate mitigation, monitoring and good-practice control measures for the project.
Construction Noise & Vibration Assessments
Construction noise and vibration assessments consider the likely effects of the proposed works on nearby receptors and set out appropriate mitigation, working methods and monitoring requirements to support planning-condition discharge and construction-phase compliance.
Section 61 Prior Consent Applications
Section 61 applications seek prior consent for construction noise under the Control of Pollution Act 1974. We prepare the application using the proposed construction methods, plant and programme information, together with the relevant noise-control measures and supporting assessment information.
What is a Section 61 Prior Consent Application?
A Section 61 application seeks prior consent from the local authority for construction noise under the Control of Pollution Act 1974. The application typically identifies the proposed works, working hours, construction methods and plant, together with appropriate noise-control measures and supporting construction noise assessment information. Following review, the local authority may grant Section 61 consent subject to conditions governing how the works are carried out.
