Environment, ASB & nuisance FAQs

It's normal for dogs to bark. However, when that barking turns to loud and continuous barking or frequent bursts of barking throughout the day and night, it can amount to a statutory noise nuisance. A barking dog complaint will be treated in the same way as any other noise complaint and it could lead to us serving a Statutory Noise Abatement Notice on the owner of the dog.

If you are being affected by persistent noise from a barking dog or dogs you can complete a complaint of nuisance form.
