The rules were in place here before that act. People are more annoyed
than ever by noise now, so it seems unlikely that no council anywhere
has implemented such an area. It is up the the householder to check
whether they are in such an area when they install an alarm.

Have legislation doesn't necessarily reduce or eliminate the noise
nuisance. Unless the alternative keyholder is a highly trusted near
neighbour the alarm will still go off and probably stop sounding by the
time that a designated key holder turns up. This is assuming that a home
alarm has been designed and set up for a sounding period of no more than
15 minutes. It also assumes that the alternative key holder knows how to
operate an alarm that that may not be familiar to them and that they
have been given the correct codes to disable the alarm.

It is very unlikely that the Police will turn up to a domestic alarm
unless it is being monitored by a third party monitoring company.
