In general, you won’t need planning permission to install soundproofing. If you are installing soundproofing against a shared wall, you will usually need to follow the rules and restrictions set out in the Party Wall Act. In listed buildings and conservation areas, there may be extra restrictions on soundproofing.
Yelverton
Yelverton is a large village on the south-western side of Dartmoor, Devon, in England. When Yelverton train station (on the Great Western Railway (GWR) line from Plymouth to Tavistock) opened in the 19th century, the town became a preferred residence for Plymouth commuters. The railway is now shut, but the Plym Valley Railway has actually resumed an area of it. Yelverton is popular for Roborough Rock - a famous mass of rock near the Plymouth road on the edge of neighboring Roborough Down, near the southerly end of the landing field. It provided its name to the Rock Hotel, built as a ranch throughout the Elizabethan duration, but converted in the 1850s to provide for growing tourism in the area. The location to the south as well as west of the roundabout at the centre of the town was worked out in late Victorian and Edwardian times, with several grand as well as opulent suites. A location developed at about the exact same time on an odd designed parcel to the south of the Tavistock road is referred to as Leg o' Mutton Corner. At the start of the Second World War, an airfield (RAF Harrowbeer) was constructed at adjacent Harrowbeer as a competitor station for the air defence of Devonport Dockyard and the Western Approaches. A 19th century balcony of residences, currently mostly converted into shops, had to have its upper floor removed to offer a less complicated method. One high building which was not altered was St. Paul's Church, yet the tower was struck by an airplane, resulting in a warning light being fitted. The layout of the paths is still very clear and also although they are substantially grassed over, the many planet and block protective bunkers constructed to shield the fighters from attack on the ground are all still in place. Some American airmen as well as anti-aircraft battery systems were posted here during the second fifty percent of the battle. An aircraft lugging President Roosevelt landed right here when its original destination was fogbound.
