Bavaria-wide noise action plan completed
Stand: 15.08.2024
Continuous noise is not only annoying and stressful, but can also have serious health consequences. To counteract this problem, the European Union has issued EC Directive 2022/49/EC. It requires the assessment and control of environmental noise.
Under this directive, noise mapping must be carried out regularly every five years. And noise action plans must be drawn up. The fourth Bavaria-wide noise action plan has now been completed. It can be viewed on the Internet at www.umgebungslaerm.bayern.de. The government of Upper Franconia draws attention to this. The authority, based in Bayreuth, is responsible for the issue throughout the state.
What happens now?
The noise action plan also announces the results of the second phase of public participation in Bavaria-wide noise action planning. The associated noise mapping is available in the UmweltAtlas Bayern. In the following months, the government of Upper Franconia will advise the most affected municipalities on what measures can be taken locally to effectively reduce noise. The Federal Environment Agency collects all German noise action plans and forwards them to the European Union.
Why is there a noise action plan?
Its aim is to analyze existing noise problems with the participation of citizens and
to analyze and evaluate existing noise problems
to develop measures for effective noise reduction
to protect quiet areas from an increase in noise.
In Bavaria, the government of Upper Franconia is responsible for drawing up the noise action plan:
for main roads outside conurbations
for federal highways within conurbations.
This affects over 1,300 municipalities in Bavaria.
There are numerous problem areas in the field of immission control that can lead to complaints from the public. The Office for Environmental Protection and Energy Issues examines the complaints if they fall within its area of responsibility.
