Earlier this year the government allowed construction sites to work earlier and later than the normal hours to keep on schedule during COVID
A number of sites locally applied for this exemption, none of which closed during the first lockdown.

But the government made an exception where the applications were in dense residential areas

So I wrote to Lord Greenhalgh, the Minister who announced the change

can be refused
So if you ever complain about construction noise out of normal hours make clear the health impact e.g. loss of sleep etc
I know some people who have really suffered this year from home working while listening to construction noise
