How it works
From “what does the council want?” to a clear next step
- 1
Tell us about your project
Start with what prompted this — a council request, a planning condition, a planning application, or equipment like a heat pump. Then a few simple questions about the project. Most answers are a single tap.

Give us the important details
If you have the council's wording or a planning condition, paste it in. You don't need to understand it. Add your postcode, your timeframe and what information you already have.

Understand your next step
Before we ask for any contact details, you'll see a clear summary of what you've told us and what typically happens next.

Connect with an acoustic consultant
If you want to proceed, add your contact details and tick to agree. Only then is your enquiry shared with an appropriate acoustic consultant, who can review it and confirm what's required.
What we are — and aren't
We're not an acoustic consultancy and we don't diagnose which assessment you need or guarantee planning outcomes. We help you explain your situation properly and connect you with a consultant who can. Read more about us.
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. There's no login and nothing to sign up for.
Will my details be shared automatically?
No. Your enquiry is only shared with a consultant if you tick the consent box at the end.
Is there a charge for using the checker?
No. Any fees for the assessment itself are agreed directly with the consultant.
What if I stop halfway?
