Clive graduated in 1986 with a degree in Combined Studies in Science and began his career working in industry at Dungeness A Nuclear Power Station, then at Cleveland Potash Ltd (a mine in North Yorkshire). He worked across a number of disciplines including noise and pollution control during this time. In 1992, Clive moved to Ipswich Borough Council Environmental Protection team and worked in enforcing noise and other pollution control legislation. Whilst at Ipswich, he obtained a second degree (first class honours) in Environmental Health and became the Senior EHO responsible for the day to day running of the Environmental Protection team. He has been a full Member of the Institute of Acoustics since 1997. During his 14 years at Ipswich Borough Council, Clive advised on noise related conditions for many hundreds of planning applications and public entertainment and premises licenses, and appeared at hearings in relation to these as necessary. He advised the Council’s Sports and Leisure, Planning, Building Control, Licensing, Crematorium, Printing, Engineering, Highways and Housing departments on noise issues such as control of noise at work, noise from road works, sound insulation, operator training etc. He co-ordinated and has carried out noise control from many large outdoor pop concerts, both at Ipswich and at other larger venues in the UK. Clive has wide experience in all aspects of noise and pollution control, and since joining Sharps Redmore at the beginning of 2006, has specialised mainly in the environmental side. He has given evidence in court on many occasions and is thoroughly familiar with the licensing and planning processes. He has many years practical experience of statutory noise nuisance enforcement and has designed noise control solutions in a wide variety of circumstances.
