382: Existing direction deemed to be excessive noise direction

You could also call this:

“Old rules about loud noises will still work under the new law”

If you were given a direction under section 9(3) of the Noise Control Act 1982, and that direction was still in effect just before this new law started, it will now be treated as if it were an excessive noise direction given under section 327 of this new law. The direction will keep the same conditions it had before. This new law will apply to that direction from now on.
