Cold Town House, Edinburgh

Client: Signature Pubs Ltd

Project Value: Forbes Architects

Project value: £3m

The former church and now micro-brewery and bar with outdoor terrace is located in Edinburgh’s historic Grassmarket directly below Edinburgh Castle.

RMP were commissioned to undertake a Noise Impact Assessment of the proposed development including the noise impact to the nearest residential dwellings.

The approach to this type of investigation is to visit the site to assess the acoustic environment and noise breakout from the existing building fabric, use previously measured data to perform predictions of the likely noise impact at the closest residential properties and assess the survey results against the Local Authorities guidance.
