Official information request - Request for noise complaint information for the period September 2025 to date

I refer to your official information request dated 07/08/2026The information you have requested is below 

Council records show that, from 3 July 2026, four complaints of excessive noise have been received in relation to (withheld due to privacy), Sanson:

Two complaints were received on 3 July 2026 (CCR 97944 and CCR 97945).
One complaint was received on 21 July 2026 (CCR 98233).
One complaint was received on 31 July 2026 (CCR 98416).

A search of Council records has not identified any complaints of excessive noise relating to this property prior to 3 July 2026.

Two Directions to Abate Excessive Noise (END notices) have been issued in relation to the property.

The first END notice was issued on 4 July 2026. Following the issue of this notice, Council sent a warning letter to the occupants of the property and wrote to the property owner advising that an END notice had been issued.

The second END notice was served on the occupants on 1 August 2026. This was followed by a further warning letter to the occupants and a further letter to the property owner advising that an END notice had been issued.

Copies of the four CCR records, the two END notices, and the associated correspondence sent to the occupants and property owner are attached to this response.

Personal details (names, addresses, contact details, etc) of third parties, which have been withheld under section 7(2)(a) of the LGOIMA, to protect their privacy. 

I do not consider that those persons’ privacy interests are outweighed by the public interest in the information’s release. Information withheld pursuant to this section will be redacted in the relevant documents.
