Air Quality Assessments for Planning

New developments can negatively impact local air quality, and/or introduce sensitive receptors to areas where air quality is a concern. Air quality must be considered as a material consideration when determining planning applications, and therefore requires early action in any project to avoid potential delays.

Using the most appropriate dispersion modelling software (e.g. ADMS-Roads) and following current guidance, we can:

determine the baseline air quality in the area of the development;
qualitatively assess the impact of any construction activities;
predict the impact on local air quality from the proposed development;
predict the impact on any new receptors introduced by the proposed development, and
advise on suitable mitigation strategies, where necessary, to include preparation of dust management plans.

We undertake air quality assessments for a wide variety of developments, and have a proven track record of helping our clients achieve planning consent in a cost-effective manner.

Early consultation can help avoid costly delays in the later stages of a development.
