Background information

Each planning consideration we work on passes through the stages of our design process, where we research and answer specific questions to help us collect more information.

Read all the background information that we have on this consideration.

  • Colm Britton (04 February 2025)

    We have posted a summary of what we learnt analysing the existing dataset.

  • Kieran Wint (04 September 2024)

    As per some research we did, summarised in this blog on an analysis of local plans and local area requirements, we're confident that this consideration acts as an INPUT to the process of creating a local plan.

  • elliotrowen (03 September 2024)

    No specific date for frequency update was identified, however it was assumed this would be updated 'ad hoc', as and when an area needed to improve the air quality.

  • Kieran Wint (30 July 2024)

    The dataset found is a snapshot in time, so we may need to work further with Defra to ensure we would always have the most up-to-date data.
