(e) measures for the management of noise and vibration during the construction of that stage, to include details of noise attenuation measures to minimise noise resulting from the construction of the authorised development, including any noise limits, and a scheme for monitoring noise during the construction of the authorised development to ensure compliance with the noise limits and the effectiveness of the attenuation measures;

(f) measures for the management and mitigation of dust emissions during the construction of the authorised development;
