Air quality management area: Aqma 2020
The council has declared the area as failing an air quality objective.
Schemes that add traffic, parking or combustion plant are assessed against the area's action plan and may need an air quality assessment.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
