It may be too late tonight, but first thing tomorrow call your local Environmental Health office and make a complaint. Environmental health have a duty to investigate all complaints of noise nuisance and they will assess the level of noise affecting your property at night. If they consider it to be a 'statutory nuisance' then they must take action to remove the nuisance and resolve your problem. There are no set levels for noise at night and any level of noise can be considered a nuisance, depending on the type of noise, the time of night and the duration of the noise. Even if you are not bothered again tonight you should still contact Environmental Health and make a complaint.
