Local Plan Review: Preferred Approach 2016-2035
Representation ID: 1531

Respondent: Mr and Mrs A Martin
Paragraphs 4 and 5 state that where development or traffic is likely to have a "significant impact" on air quality an assessment will be required. It does not quantify how the judgement of "significance" will be made nor what decision would be made based on adverse assessments. The creeping pattern and cumulative effect of air pollution sources is just as damaging as one significant addition. There could be a temptation to allow a deterioration in air quality if development would provide lots of Section 106 funding.
Makes no commitment to take prevailing wind direction into account when locating such developments.
