| July 2006 - SCDC and TKA have arrived at an agreement. |
|
SCDC has entered into an agreement with TKA Tallent that according to SCDC means that TKA will
not make a statutory noise nuisance during the night from May 2007. This is 10 months away.
Night seems to be defined as between 11pm at 7am. Consequently SCDC have removed the Noise Abatement Notice.
No limitations or agreements on noise outside these hours have been made (This includes weekend and Bank Holidays) |

A considerable number of people have complained over a number of years about the noise coming from the
works of TKA Tallent Chassis Ltd located at Bourn Airport. Extract from the latest Parish Council meeting February 2010 · 576.2 TKA report The factory is closing at the end of September. December 2009 · 556.2 TKA report It was reported that regular visits are being made by environmental health November 2009 · 546.3 TKA report Cllr Martlew reported several incidents of the noise of crashing metal heard from his home on Highfields Road. October 2009 · 536.3 TKA report There had been a number of reports of noise and acidic smells. 26th September Noise at 11pm until at least 1am in the morning, also on 23rd at around 8pm. 28th September The factory was noisy from around 10:30pm. 29th September Noise at at 6:15 am and noisy around 8pm 29th September Strong acidic smell. 1st October Strong acidic smell at around midday Noise in the early hours of the morning at 2.30 am and again at 5.20 am. The following reply was received from Brian Heffernan Environmental Health on 29th September. I am currently investigating the source or cause of the odour with the assistance of health and safety personnel from TKA. Yesterday I visited West Drive Caldecote with Les Setchells Health and Safety advisor from TKA to try to ascertain the source of the odour. This is an on-going exercise that involves random pro active monitoring as well as responding directly to complaints in respect of odour. During the course of monitoring for odour at West Drive yesterday, I was aware of noise from TKA. I understand that TKA have systems in place whereby jobs that have a noisier classification are carried out during day time hours so as to try to limit the degree of disturbance at night. This practice is in accordance with the spirit of an agreement that both the council and TKA entered into in 2006. September 2009 · 526.3 TKA report There had been several detailed reports this month of Chemical smells and noise. There had also been some correspondence regarding an offer from TKA to help fund the artificial cricket wicket, but nothing further had been heard from Steven McCrystal in response to the chairman’s letter of reply. There is no suggestion that any contribution would be other than on equal and fair terms, and not give any special access or privileges. The Chairman welcomed any improvement in the relationship between TKA and the village See the full history here Parish Council Meeting History |
