Background

The LEQSE has been done yearly since 2001. ONS and ENCAMS are seeking advice not on the National LEQ Survey itself, but in relation to the Pilot Study described in the BRIEFING NOTE

There has been criticism of the sampling schemes employed. ONS and ENCAMS are seeking expert statistical advice in a Pilot Study. The idea is to compare the variability and uncertainties associated with random, systematic and existing LEQSE sampling methodologies, and to assess the implications of weighting the survey results by land use.

Details

Upto £10K is available to fund this work.

The work must be backed up by a recognised expert in sampling methodology.
