Control of Pollution Act 1974 Section 61 consent

The council requests that the developer or Principal Contractor apply for prior consent for their proposals to conduct noisy demolition and/or construction works using Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974. The application is made to Southwark’s Environmental Protection Team and should be submitted a minimum of 28 days before works commence on site.

Apply for section 61 consent to carry out noisy demolition and/or construction works

We advise you to read the guidance for making a section 61 application ^{(PDF, 157kb)} before applying.

If developers or Principal Contractors do not apply for prior consent under Section 61 of the Act and commence works on site, the council, should a substantiated complaint be received, will likely serve a Notice under Section 60 of the act. The Section 60 notice will set the hours of working, terms and conditions that the developer must comply with. This could impact on a developers programme both in terms of time and cost.
