Noisy builders radio

hubb

There is a shop backing onto us that has had building work ongoing for weeks. Just of late the builders have been thinking its a rave with commercial radio playing trashy dance music. I phoned the shop to ask them to turn it down. They said yes, the music went very low and now it is back again to full volume after half an hour. I am assuming that the shop doesn't have a PRS licence as they don't play music inside. 

What would be the next step ?

Don't need a PRS license if its radio. The radio station pays for it.

Check your local council for how to make noise complaints. But during daytime hours its less likely to be seen as a nuisance.

According to the link I think broadcasting radio does need a PRS licence

The difference here is the shop isn't playing the music, it's the builders.

Yes but its the shop's responsibility while on their premises.

The builders are not customers or staff.

Yes I know that, but still on the premises and the owner has the responsibility of what happens on his premises.

Honestly?  Put up with it until the work has finished.
