Do you need an air quality assessment?

Why do you need an Air Quality Assessment in Dudley

Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council has declared a borough-wide Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) for annual mean Nitrogen Dioxide. Dudley Council’s Latest Air Quality Annual Status Report (ASR) shows that Road traffic emissions are the main source of air pollution in the borough.

A number of projects have been undertaken to supplement the work of the Air Quality Action Plan and improve Air Quality in Dudley Metropolitan Borough.

When do you need an Air Quality Assessment in Dudley

An air quality assessment in Dudley will be required where there is a need to inform the decision-making with regard to development. It is reasonable to expect that an assessment will be required where there is a risk of a significant air quality effect, either from a new development causing an air quality impact or creating exposure to high concentrations of pollutants for new residents.

If you have a development with more than 10 residential units or more than 1,000 metres square of floor space, then an air quality assessment is a requirement for planning applications.
