Noise Management Plan
Councils continue to address noise concerns by requiring noise management plans for various premises and events.
Noise management plans are required by councils to mitigate sound levels from various sources. These include plans for school playgrounds, licensed premises such as Tiger Bay and The Archway, and for events with over 500 attendees, often produced by a qualified acoustic consultant.
In September 2025, Islington's Licensing Sub-Committee B approved a premises licence variation for The Archway, located at 1 Navigator Square, despite concerns from a local resident regarding potential noise. This decision allowed for an expansion of the venue's smoking terrace.
