Draft action plan against noise for 2018-2023
The drawing up of an action plan against noise is part of the European Union's Directive on environmental noise (2002/49/EC), which was implemented in Iceland by the Regulation on Noise Mapping and Action Plans No. 1000/2005 and aims to reduce noise and its adverse effects. Residents are encouraged to familiarise themselves with the plan and submit comments, if any.
Hafnarfjörður is presenting residents with a draft action plan against noise for the years 2018 to 2023.
The drawing up of an action plan against noise is part of the European Union's Directive on environmental noise (2002/49/EC), which was implemented in Iceland by Regulation No. 1000/2005 on noise mapping and action plans, and aims to reduce noise and its adverse effects. The action plan is based on the results of the 2017 noise mapping, along with noise maps showing sound levels at a height of 4 m above ground level.
