What is the purpose of a Construction Disturbance Notification (CDN)?

The purpose of a Construction Disturbance Notification (CDN) is to inform the community and local authorities about potential disruptions caused by construction activities. This communication plays a vital role in ensuring that residents and businesses near the construction site are aware of any impacts on their environment, such as noise, traffic changes, or other disturbances that may arise during the project's execution. By issuing a CDN, construction companies can foster transparency and maintain good relationships with the local community, allowing residents to prepare for and adapt to the changes.

In contrast, the other options address different needs that are not the primary focus of a CDN. Requests for additional permits pertain to formal approvals for construction activities, which are separate processes not directly linked to notifying the community about disturbances. Updates on project budget changes focus on the financial aspects of the project rather than community impacts. Scheduling community outreach events is more about engagement rather than notifying about specific disturbances, which is the essence of the CDN’s purpose.
