DM Policy 23 Air quality

The Council will require all major developments that have the potential to impact on air quality to submit an Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) considering the potential impacts of pollution from individual and cumulative development on the site and on neighbouring areas and detailing any appropriate mitigation measures that would reduce exposure to acceptable levels.

Applications for planning permission for all new developments that have the potential to impact on air quality in an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) will not be permitted to include a biomass boiler.
