            other two service requests, the officers rang the clients at 08:15hrs and 08:25hrs
            respectively. The first client informed the Officer that the music was no longer bothering
            them, however, the other client asked for the officers to visit.

            Two officers visited the client at 08:45hrs and assessed the level of noise received at the
            client's premises. No nuisance was witnessed, however, they advised the client to call back
            should the level rise. No further calls were received, and no Abatement Notice was served
            on that date.

            Noise Abatement Notice
            On 1 May 2013 the Noise & Nuisance Team received information regarding a potential rave
            which would allegedly be held on the night of the 4 May 2013.

            In response officers visited the site on 1 May 2013, and established that the 'old sausage
            factory' in Bianca Road was being squatted. Officers spoke to the squatters who were
            residing there, and whilst they did not substantiate the claim, they did not deny it either.
            Officers felt that should the rave go ahead it would likely cause a nuisance to nearby
            residents.

            In a proactive attempt to address this, on 3 May 2013 Officers served a section 80
            abatement Notice for 'likelihood of nuisance' which effectively prohibited the nuisance from
            occurring or recurring. Whilst the Notice prohibited the occurrence or recurrence of nuisance
            from the rave, it could not prevent the rave from taking place.

            In addition to the above, Council Licensing officers also visited the site with Police and a
            warning letter was issued regarding unlicensed entertainment.
