I would like to know over the past five years period

1. What is the average length of time from issuing a noise abatement to it being enforced?

2. What is the shortest time it has taken and what is the longest period of time?

Response

Abatement Notices are issued on a case-by-case basis, tailored to the specific circumstances of each situation. Depending on the nature of the issue, a notice may require immediate cessation of the activity or allow a defined period for compliance to enable remediation.

Over the past five years, no court judgments have been made in relation to abatement notices, therefore, this information is not held, and Article 3 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 therefore applies.
