About

Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs awarded a contract to WSP UK Ltd for a systematic review of evidence on the health effects of wind farm noise, valued at £90,451.2.

The review supports the Interdepartmental Group on Costs and Benefits (IGCB) Noise subject group, which provides analysis and advice on quantifying and valuing local environmental impacts.

It follows the World Health Organisation's 2018 Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region, which included systematic reviews on annoyance and sleep disturbance from environmental noise.

The commission addresses high-quality studies published after the WHO reviews, which considered evidence up to December 2014 for annoyance and December 2015 for sleep disturbance, to further develop understanding of the link between wind turbine noise exposure and these health outcomes.
