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.
