The Highways Noise Payments and Movable Homes (England) Regulations 2000
Section 20A of the Land Compensation Act 1973, inserted by paragraph 5(1) of Schedule 15 to the Planning and Compensation Act 1991, enables Regulations to be made providing for payments to persons living in caravans and other structures which are not buildings which are, or are likely to be, affected by noise caused by the construction or use of public works. Such dwellings do not qualify for noise insulation or grant under the Noise Insulation Regulations 1975 (S.I. 1975/1763 amended by S.I. 1988/2000), but these Regulations empower a noise payment to be made where qualifying conditions are met, to the occupier of a caravan or movable home by the appropriate highway authority, of £1,650 specified in the Regulations. The memorandum entitled “Calculation of Road Traffic Noise” published by Her Majesty’s Stationery Office (1988) may be obtained from the Stationery Office, National Publishing, 3rd Floor, St Crispins, Duke Street, Norwich NR3 1PD (telephone number: 0870 600 5522).
