The site should not utilise generators but instead use solar panels. 

The submitted Event Management Plan should set out the procedures for car searches to be

undertaken when entering the site. The searches should specifically look for unauthorised

generators, sound systems, excess alcohol, prohibited items and unauthorised people.

The Premises License Holder will inform local residents in writing prior to any event and will include

a telephone number or numbers, staffed continually throughout the duration of events, for members

of the public to contact, in order for concerns relating directly to the event to be addressed

immediately. This person will be located on site. 

Assessments of sound levels with details and proposals for monitoring and controlling noise will be agreed with Maidstone Borough Council. An additional location for monitoring should be East Hall

Hill. 

The Music Noise Level (MNL), as described in section 3 of the Noise Council Code of Practice on

Environmental Noise Control at Concerts, should not exceed 65dB(A)(Laeq 15min) at the façade of

the nearest noise sensitive properties.

A Noise Management Plan (incorporated within the Event Management Plan) will be drawn up for all events by the Premises License Holder and submitted to the Safety Advisory Group. If 500+ people

then will be submitted at least 3 months prior to event and 1000 + people then will be submitted at least 6 months prior to event. 

Any lighting associated with this event should be installed and operated in such a manner so as not

to cause a nuisance to residents. 

The camping area will be staffed when in use and all amplified music equipment will be banned within the camping area. The ban of amplified music equipment will be made clear in the T&C’s literature when tickets are purchased.

Events shall be split into; 

Category A events: Category A events are those outdoor events in which any noise may be discernible beyond the boundaries of the estate.

Category A events shall be limited to a maximum of 5 in the period 1 June to 30 September

and a maximum of 3 in the period 1 October to 31 May, but the total of such events shall not

exceed more than 12 events in the period 1 January to 31 December in any calendar year.

Category B events: Outdoor events where noise will not be audible inside any noise sensitive dwellings shall be unlimited in number.

That there is a strict no noise condition at the perimeter of the site imposed at 2300 hours for all events
