Local Authorities will often require an Air Quality Assessment to be undertaken to ensure a new development will not result in adverse air quality effects, or an air quality-sensitive development is appropriately located
Metrica has experience undertaking assessments on a range of developments where air quality requires thorough consideration, such as:
- Emissions from proposed industrial plant during operation
- Emissions from HGV and plant movements
- Emissions from increased traffic due to the operation of a proposed development
- Dust emissions during demolition or construction
Our Air Quality Impact Assessments (AQIAs) are tailored to meet the specific needs of each project. We use modelling software to predict the dispersion of pollutants, allowing us to evaluate the effects of different emission reduction strategies.
We provide a range of services to ensure your project meets environmental regulations, including:
- DMRB Screening Assessments
- Detailed dispersion modelling of point sources or road traffic in Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs)
- Stack height assessment
- Best Available Technique (BAT) assessments for Environmental Permits
- Planning condition negotiation and discharge
- Dust and Air Quality Management Plans
We pride ourselves on our attention to detail and our ability to provide timely and accurate reports. Please get in touch to discuss an Air Quality assessment for your development.
