Decision details
Keynsham and Saltford Air Quality Action Plans
Decision Maker: Cabinet Member - Transport, Cabinet Member - Community Services
Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: Yes
Purpose:
Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) have been declared in Keynsham and Saltford due to exceedances of the national objective limits for measured nitrogen dioxide concentrations. Following declaration of the AQMAs, the Council is obliged to develop Air Quality Action Plans which seek to reduce air pollution to below the objective limit.
Decision:
The Cabinet Members agree that the Air Quality Action Plan is adopted.
Reasons for the decision:
Measures have been included that could be developed within the next 5 years. The option of a bypass for Saltford was not considered as there are no proposals for this within the current Core Strategy that runs until 2029 and it is outside of the expected lifespan of the action plan.
Alternative options considered:
In addition to the original options presented in the original consultation document, officers have included supplemental ones that arose from the exercise in the final Action Plans.
