ENP-ENV5: Air quality

Development proposals should contribute to the provision of cleaner air and reduce pollution by:

  • Minimising the impact of traffic congestion
  • Incorporating plants, trees and shrubs in any landscaping scheme, and as far as possible, replacing any trees or hedgerows which have to be removed
  • Providing facilities for low-pollution transport, including safe cycle storage and charging points for electric vehicles
  • Controlling dust and emissions from industrial, farming, construction and demolition operations
