i.          Noise from concerts/events at Alexandra Palace

            Raised by Jane Hutchinson - Alexandra Residents’ Association

Noise from concerts/events at Alexandra Palace – raised by Jane Hutchinson on behalf of the Alexandra Residents’ Association.

Jane Hutchinson raised concerns over noise nuisance from concerts at the Palace.  The noise levels seem to have risen from previous years, and this needed to be addressed especially as the amount of concerts at the Palace was rising.  Local residents were carrying out surveys, the results of which would be presented to Duncan Wilson.

Duncan Wilson responded by saying that until specific examples were provided to him, he was not able to comment in detail.  He added that all events at the Palace were bound by the terms of the Palace’s licence and all music must be set at a certain level as prescribed by the Council.  This did not mean that there would not be any noise heard from events, but that this level of noise was one that was deemed acceptable by the Local Authority.
