Air Quality
in Wolverhampton

Wolverhampton City Council has declared a city-wide Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) for annual mean Nitrogen Dioxide and 24-hour mean Particulate Matter (PM₁₀). Wolverhampton City Council’s Latest Air Quality Annual Status Report (ASR) shows that Road traffic emissions are the main source of air pollution in the city.

Wolverhampton City Council’s Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) is currently being updated and has not yet been published. The intention of the AQAP is to include 23 proposed actions which aim to improve the air quality in Wolverhampton.

When do you need an Air Quality Assessment in Wolverhampton

An air quality assessment in Wolverhapton 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.
