Introduce mandatory noise complaint waivers for anyone who buys or rents a property within close distance of a music venue
Responsible department: Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
There are innumerate cases of people knowingly moving within close proximity of live music venues, only to try to have their licenses revoked or have them closed completely when they take exception to the noise.
It is extremely detrimental to the UK's entertainment industry, particularly on a grassroots level, when all the music venues start disappearing. Music is a key British export and to endanger our strong national artist community is to endanger a key British industry.
As such, anyone who wishes to buy or rent a property within a determined distance of a music venue should have to read and sign legislature that waives their right to complain about the noise from the nearby venue. If they do not wish to be bothered by something that was a fixture of the community long before they arrived, they should not move there in the first place.

Sometimes it is ridiculous, you can't complain if you knew it was coming really

already did,
was wondering and this is probably gas, but this might make rents cheaper around music venues due to the noise and create like small creative bohemian areas around them

Noise from the actual PA or noise caused by people around the entrance/exit?

what difference does it make AxeD? not like anyone actually listens to those "please respect our neighbors" notices in pubs/clubs/venues
A really good venue in Brighton (The Blind Tiger) recently got shut down because of some fucking speng moving into the flat above it and then complaining. I completely agree with this.

Fucking spengs. How would you move on the floor above a pub and complain about pub noise and be taken seriously? Here we have this ancient Canadian proverb that goes sort of like this; If you don't want to hear loud drunks or music, dont move into, beside, in front, behind or above a bar.
I thought that was the purpose of having a bar district no? A place where industry people/musicians/non-spenglord's of the world can live and work on a service/entertainment schedule?

there are bar distiricts and stuff in the uk but they tend to hold the more commercial clubs (deansgate in manchester, concert square in liverpool) the clubs and venues that cater for more underground djs and bands tend to be in areas that are more mixed (more residential). shoreditch, dalston, peckham, brixton in london are all residential. theres also lots of more underground clubs in industrial areas or old industrial areas. a lot of these areas are now being redeveloped with new flats and stuff like hackney wick, or trafford with warehouse project last year

One you can fix for a large part with proper isolation. The other occurs in every street
with a few bars and has nothing to do with music venues in particular.
I agree that people should not move to either area if they mind it that much.
But there's also responsibility on the side of the venue. Costs are high for isolating
down to the low frequencies, but maybe they should receive extra funds to do so anyway.
Festivals employ some damn effective techniques to keep low frequencies from bleeding.
But I imagine most venues would have room for it.

Leeds has everything smashed in together, even the big venues are close to housing (though that's likely to be students so who cares). The West Indian Centre is opposite a row of houses and you could hear Iration Steppas a mile off, wonder what they made of it
