EQ2: Air Quality

Applicants should consider the impact of their proposals on air quality. Where it is likely that a decline in air quality will occur, applicants should provide details of how the adverse effects will be mitigated in order to comply with national air quality objectives. Where adequate mitigation cannot be provided, development will not normally be permitted.

Developments proposing housing, schools, and other uses vulnerable to the effects of poor air quality within AQMAs will be required to provide an air quality assessment which will detail options for the mitigation of poor air quality on users, particularly through development design. Where air quality exposure is not reduced to acceptable levels, development will not normally be permitted.
