Common confusion points
Confusing 'Order' with 'Application': This form *is* the court decision, not just asking for it.
Not knowing who signs: The applicant applies, but a Court Officer/Judge issues the final Order.
Noise type confusion: Ensure you are ordering against noise (EPA Act 1992), not pollution from another source.
CRO vs. Courts Service: This form is about court enforcement, not necessarily company registration details (though it could relate to a business).
Not confirmed in official source: Whether this form supersedes other EPA notices depends on the exact stage of the process.
