SQ4 Air Quality
Development will only be permitted where all of the following criteria are met:
- the proposed use does not result in a significant deterioration of the air quality of the area, either individually or cumulatively with other proposals or existing uses in the vicinity;
- proposals would not result in the circumstances that would lead to the creation of a new Air Quality Management Area;
- proximity to existing potentially air polluting uses will not have a harmful effect on the proposed use; and
- there is no impact on the air quality of internationally, nationally and locally designated sites of nature conservation interest or appropriate mitigation is proposed to alleviate any such impact.
