  • In Fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act, 1995 - Local Air Quality Management
    Cotswold District Council Updating and Screening Assessment In fulfillment of Part IV of the Environment Act, 1995 - Local Air Quality Management July 2009 1 Contact Details Local Authority Officer Hilary Beach Department Environmental Services Address Trinity Road, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7 1PX Telephone 01285 623000 e-mail [email protected] Report Reference Updating and Screening Assessment, 2009 Date July 2009 i Executive Summary This Updating and Screening report for 2009 is the next round of reporting on air quality required of local authorities. It considers new Technical Guidance (LAQM.TG(09)) issued by Defra and the Devolved Administrations. This guidance was produced using experience and knowledge gained from previous reporting rounds. Cotswold District Council has continued to maintain 20 diffusion tube monitoring sites for nitrogen dioxide across the district. The sites are representative of relevant exposure and relate to emissions from traffic, with the exception of one background site which is maintained in a rural location. Diffusion tube monitoring for benzene had been carried out over a number of years, no issues were identified at any locations and with consistently low results this monitoring has now ceased. Following the assessment of 2005 monitoring, further work was undertaken to confirm the need to declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and identify the spatial extent of the area. For this, automatic monitoring was undertaken during 2007. In April 2008 Cotswold District Council declared an AQMA at the busy junction on the A417 trunk road. This was for nitrogen dioxide from road vehicle emissions and there are residential properties in the area.
