    *1. At these times the maximum permissible levels as stipulated in the Schedule 1 for the respective
    residential density type shall apply. This may mean that no noisy construction work can take place
    during these hours.

    **2. A reduction of these levels in the vicinity of certain institutions such as schools, hospitals mosque
    and noise sensitive premises (apartments, residential dwellings, hotel) may be exercised by the local
    authority or Department of Environment.

    Where the affected premises are noise sensitive, the limits of the Schedule 1 shall apply.

    3. In the event that the existing ambient sound level (L90) without construction, maintenance and
    demolition worksis higher than the L90 limit of the above Schedule, the higher measured ambient L90
    sound level shall prevail. In this case, the maximum permissible L10 sound level shall not exceed the
    Ambient L90 level + 10 dBA, or the above Schedule L10 whichever is the higher.
