ESD20 – Pollution

Appropriate best practice measures should be incorporated into developments to avoid pollution to air, water and soil both during construction and in the operation of the completed development.

Developments should not increase air pollution levels in the area and actions should be taken to mitigate this such as planting, appropriate siting of air outlets, and designing to ensure any air pollution can dissipate.

Developments should be designed to minimise light pollution for example by appropriate siting of lights, appropriate light fittings, and management of external lighting.
