Noise and facade loads
Sound
The municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo must provide insight into the noise levels resulting from environmental noise every 5 years. For this purpose, noise maps and tables and an action plan must be drawn up.
Façade loads of existing homes
The Noise Abatement Act (Wgh) focuses primarily on protecting citizens in their living environment and sets standards for the maximum noise exposure on the facade of a home. In Geldrop-Mierlo, homes with the highest noise exposure caused by road traffic are being addressed first. This is being done on a regional basis. For homes with lower noise levels, the municipality has received a subsidy to conduct research into the noise levels in homes along busy roads in our municipality. The same approach applies to homes with excessive noise levels caused by rail traffic.Prorail is responsible for this.Rijkswaterstaat is responsible for noise pollution caused by traffic on the motorway (A67).
