Part E of Schedule 1 of the Building Regulations 2010 sets requirements for protection against sound from other parts of the building and adjoining premises. Building Regulations apply that when building work which can involve the construction of a new dwellings and when there is a change of use to a residential purpose. They apply irrespective of whether there is a permitted development right in place under planning legislation.<\/p>
Building control bodies, which can be either a local authority or a private sector Approved Inspector, are responsible for checking compliance with Building Regulations\u2019 requirements. If householders think that requirements have not been met, they should raise this with the building control body.<\/p>

It is for local authorities to determine if any building or land nominated by the local community meets the test of being an asset of community value. The scheme allows groups to nominate buildings or land for listing by their local authority if its principal use furthers their community\u2019s social well-being. This can include cultural, sporting or recreational interests. Since the scheme was introduced in 2012, over 4,000 assets of community value have been listed across England. This includes over 30 football stadiums from across the football pyramid including St James Park.<\/p>
The scheme seeks to balance the rights of private property owners with the interests of the community where the local authority agrees that the asset in question is an asset of community value.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4060", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Jake Berry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Rossendale and Darwen"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jake Berry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-10-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-10-30T14:50:52.757Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-10-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Community Assets"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of including football clubs in the list of assets of community value.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4124", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chi Onwurah"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chi Onwurah"} ], "uin" : "183930"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944049", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/944049/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government does not want to impose excessive central reporting burdens on local government and has sought to reduce pressure on local authorities through the \u2018new burdens doctrine\u2019. <\/em>This requires departments to justify why new duties are being placed on local authorities. Therefore, any new statutory duties would be subject to the new burdens doctrine.<\/p> Many local authorities already work very closely on wellbeing issues and are keen to develop effective approaches. Best practice models are shared by the Local Government Association, which is a member of the \u2018Parks Action Group\u2019 <\/em>and a pivotal partner in the group\u2019s work in reviewing a range of issues relating to parks and green spaces in England. On 24 May, the Association hosted the \u2018Action on Parks\u2019<\/em> conference sharing learning and best practice with local authorities.<\/p> The Government has committed £500,000 to support the Parks Action Group\u2019<\/em> and the work to safeguard and enhance parks and green spaces. The Government will report back to Parliament on the group\u2019s progress later this year.<\/p>"}
