If a wind energy facility is the subject of a wind turbine noise agreement, the noise limit for that facility in relation to noise emissions to the premises of the relevant landowner is—
if the agreement is made before 1 November 2021, the noise limit specified in the agreement; or
if the agreement is made on or after 1 November 2021, the noise limit that is the greater of—
