The Council has a formal duty to review and
assess local air quality. Where it is concluded that one of more of
the UK air quality objectives is unlikely to be achieved, the
Council must declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA). If
further assessment confirms that conclusion then an Air Quality
Action Plan must be prepared and implemented. The Council has a
duty to maintain an Action Plan until the air quality objectives
are achieved. An Air Quality Action Plan will be submitted for
approval by Cabinet. This document will have undergone extensive
consultation and public participation as part of the ‘action
planning’ process.
