Ah the building is going to be flats, is that why you have the acoustic insulation?
No - normal residential property (2 story house). Building control are adamant that there has to be some form of insulation in the ceiling void. Architects technician agrees its required to meet regs. I'm not up for the fight to show that it isn't - its a case of picking your battles. I cant find anything in the regs other than 'reasonable provision to reduce sound transmission' which leaves it completely open to interpretation - in this case building control's.
