The local authority served notices for noise abatement, requiring the land owners to install sound limiting devices. The owners claimed that the terms of the notice were ultra vires in requiring them to allow entrance to the authority’s officers, and were uncertain in their requirements.
Held: The notices required a step to be taken within the Act, and were valid. The uncertainty in the remaining parts of the notice could be cured by substitution of a general reference to residential property.
