Air Quality Feasibility Study

Decision Maker: Director Development and Public Protection

Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The authority have declared an Air Quality Management Area in Temple Could and Farrington Gurney for they have concentrations of Nitorgen Dioxide that breach the objective Standard of 40 micrograms per metre cubed. To commission a report to fully assess all available measures and identify those which are feasible and effective in delivering the required air quality improvements in the Air Quality Management Areas in Farrington Gurney and Temple Cloud. Detailed traffic and air quality modelling will be used to identify feasible measures, and form the basis of the study methodology.

Decision:

To proceed with the commission of the Survey.

Alternative options considered:

Option 1 - Not carrying out a feasibility study - however this may lead to unfeasible measures being included within the Air Quality Action Plan and made public. This would lead to unreasonable and undeliverable expectations. Carrying out this study would prevent such a situation.
