Renewable energy is a hot topic and comes in many shapes and forms spanning a wide variety of technologies and applications. When mentioning renewable energy, noise and vibration issues are not normally what springs to mind and it is often forgotten or has a low priority in the whole planning and design process. This may create problems further down the line; problems that will have not only design implications but also significant cost implications for the developer. It is therefore important to take noise and vibration issues seriously and evaluate them properly as part of a feasibility study as early on as possible.

However, they are something that could become much more familiar in the near future following an expanded trial that, if successful, means noise cameras could be rolled out widely in the UK.
Since the early 2000s, there has been a steady increase in the use of home delivery services for buying groceries. This has had impacts on the footfall traffic inside supermarkets. It has also changed the way many of the big retailers have sought to expand, with some trending towards smaller convenience stores whilst allowing the ‘big weekly shop’ to be accommodated by online services and home deliveries. This dependence on online deliveries was accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic, but has this shift stuck around post-pandemic? Mayer Brown investigates below what the impact of increased home deliveries is on parking demand at supermarkets, and whether some food retailers could afford to reduce their car park sizes in order to accommodate other facilities.
