Executive Summary

The 2014 Progress Report is designed to fulfil Chelmsford City Councils statutory duty to review and assess air quality within its area, and to determine whether or not the air quality objectives are likely to be achieved.

Air Quality within AQMAs

Chelmsford City Council has one Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) in the vicinity of the Army and Navy roundabout. Automatic monitoring measured an exceedance of the nitrogen dioxide annual mean air quality objective however there was no exceedance at relevant exposure. No exceedences of the one hour mean objective were measured.

Non automatic monitoring measured an exceedance of the nitrogen dioxide annual mean air quality objective at one location which was at relevant exposure.

Air Quality outside AQMAs

Automatic monitoring measured no exceedences of the air quality objectives for nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter (PM10) or sulphur dioxide.

Non-Automatic monitoring measured an exceedance of the nitrogen dioxide annual mean air quality objective at one location but there was no exceedance at relevant exposure. However, it should be noted that at four locations, borderline concentrations (36-40 µg/m 3) were identified.

1 Introduction 1.1 Description of Local Authority Area

Chelmsford is located in mid Essex, thirty-one miles from London and has a population of over 168,300 (2011 census), largely living in the main urban areas of Chelmsford and South Woodham Ferrers. The City of Chelmsford comprises a number of suburban areas around these main urban areas and in the larger villages of Danbury, East and West Hanningfield, Great Leighs, Little Waltham and Little Baddow, within a rural setting.

The main source of air pollution in Chelmsford is road traffic emissions from major roads, notably the A12, A414, A138, A130 and B1016.

Other pollution sources, including commercial, industrial and domestic sources, also make a contribution to background pollution concentrations.

Chelmsford City Council has declared one Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) in November 2005.

• Army & Navy Roundabout

Based on monitoring results from 2008 to 2011, the Detailed Assessment conducted in April 2010 and the USA in 2012, the AQMA was reduced in size in 2012. Figure 1.1 Map of Chelmsford City Council AQMA

1.2 Purpose of Progress Report

This report fulfils the requirements of the Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) process as set out in Part IV of the Environment Act (1995), the Air Quality Strategy for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 2007 and the relevant Policy and Technical Guidance documents. The LAQM process places an obligation on all local authorities to regularly review and assess air quality in their areas, and to determine whether or not the air quality objectives are likely to be achieved. Where exceedences are considered likely, the local authority must then declare an Air Quality Management Area (AQMA) and prepare an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) setting out the measures it intends to put in place in pursuit of the objectives.

Progress Reports are required in the intervening years between the three-yearly Updating and Screening Assessment reports. Their purpose is to maintain continuity in the LAQM process.

They are not intended to be as detailed as Updating and Screening Assessment Reports, or to require as much effort. However, if the Progress Report identifies the risk of exceedence of an Air Quality Objective, then the Local Authority (LA) should undertake a Detailed Assessment immediately, and not wait until the next round of Review and Assessment. 1.3 Air Quality Objectives

The air quality objectives applicable to LAQM in England are set out in the Air Quality (England) Regulations 2000 (SI 928), The Air Quality (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2002 (SI 3043), and are shown in Table 1.1. This table shows the objectives in units of microgrammes per cubic metre µg/m3 (milligrammes per cubic metre, mg/m3 for carbon monoxide) with the number of exceedences in each year that are permitted (where applicable).

1.4 Summary of Previous Review and Assessments

Table 1.2 Summary of Previous Reviews and Assessment

Round Date Review Type Summary Review and The conclusions of the first round were that all Air 1 1998-2002 Assessment Quality Objectives were expected to be met by 2005. The USA 2003 concluded that a Detailed Assessment USA was required for NO 2 due to emissions from road traffic at the Army & Navy Roundabout.

2 2003-2005 Detailed The Detailed Assessment concluded that the annual Assessment mean objective for NO 2 would not be met by 2005. The Council declared an Air Quality Management Area on 1st December 2005.

USA The USA 2006 identified that NO 2 concentrations exceeded the objective at nine sites based on annualised data (two within the AQMA). It was recommended that the Council undertake Detailed Assessments to identify the risk of exceeding the objective at two locations outside the AQMA in 3 2006 Chelmsford; Springfield Road (town centre) and Wood Street / Miami Roundabout (outskirts).

Detailed The Detailed Assessments concluded AQMAs were not Assessment required at either location as concentrations at sensitive receptors would meet the objectives by 2010. 2009 USA The USA 2009 report assessed monitoring data for 2008 and identified that one of the locations outside of the AQMA at the A12 / Howe Green Interchange would require a detailed assessment.

2009 Detailed The 2009 Detailed and Further Assessment report for 4 Assessment Howe Green A12 interchange concluded that additional monitoring was recommended to increase the robustness and validity of the data.

2010-2011 Progress The 2010 and 2011 Progress Reports concluded that no Reports further actions required The USA 2012 identified that that there were no exceedences of the Air Quality objectives for NO and 2012 USA 2 particulate matter (PM10) at relevant locations of

exposure. In October 2012, the AQMA was amended to

reduce the size, based on the Detailed Assessment

completed in 2010 and monitoring results from 2010 and 5 2011.

The 2013 Progress Report showed confirmed that all 2013 Progress Report monitoring locations with relevant exposure were

meeting the Air Quality Objectives

2 New Monitoring Data 2.1 Summary of Monitoring Undertaken 2.1.1 Automatic Monitoring Sites

This section provides details of automatic monitoring carried out in 2013, the year covered by this report. Table 2.1 contains specific details about each site.

The current automatic monitoring for nitrogen dioxide in Chelmsford consists of four

chemiluminescence (NO/NO 2/NO x) gas analysers located at: the Chignal St James (Background), Rainsford Lane (Roadside), Springfield Road (Roadside) and Baddow Road (Roadside) sites.

There is also continuous monitoring of particles (PM 10 ) undertaken by Chelmsford City Council at three locations using a Beta Attenuation Monitor (BAM). The ratified monitoring results for 2013 are shown in Table 2.3. The location of these monitoring sites is shown in Figure 2.1.

The Chignal St James rural background site also monitors SO 2 and O3.

2.2.3 Particulate Matter (PM 10 )

Chelmsford City Council undertakes continuous monitoring of particles (PM 10 ) using Beta Attenuation Monitors (BAM) at the following three locations: • Springfield Road • Rainsford Lane • Chignal St James

The Springfield Road and Rainsford Lane sites are representative of public exposure. The Chignal St James site is a rural background site. None of these sites are within the Chelmsford AQMA.

Data for the BAMs has been corrected using the 1/1.211 gravimetric equivalence factor from the "UK Equivalence Programme for Monitoring of Particulate Matter". The ratified results are shown in table 2.6 and are represented graphically in Figures 2.8, 2.9 & 2.10

2.2.4 Sulphur Dioxide (SO 2)

Chelmsford City Council undertook monitoring for SO2 at the Chignal St James background monitoring site in 2013. The site has an API M100a automatic analyser which had numerous faults across the course of 2013 rendering the valid data capture extremely low. Consideration is being given to retiring the analyser.

2.2.7 Summary of Compliance with AQS Objectives

Chelmsford City Council has examined the results from monitoring. Nitrogen dioxide concentrations are all below the objectives at relevant exposure with the exception of the diffusion tube location CB58 sited at 148 Baddow Road, Chelmsford. This location is within the existing AQMA.

There are a further seven locations where monitoring identified concentrations at borderline concentrations. Four of these borderline locations are sited outside of the AQMA of which three are in a similar area (Springfield Road and Victoria Road) and are influenced by the same traffic conditions.

The monitoring of particulate matter (PM10), sulphur dioxide, ozone and benzene have found no exceedences of the Air Quality Objectives.

3 New Local Developments

Chelmsford City Council confirms that there are no new or newly identified local developments which may have an impact on air quality within the Local Authority area.

Chelmsford City Council confirms that all the following have been considered:

• Road traffic sources • Other transport sources • Industrial sources • Commercial and domestic sources • New developments with fugitive or uncontrolled sources.

4 Local / Regional Air Quality Strategy

In 1995, as a result of the Government publication "Meeting the Challenge" and the aspirations of local government to undertake more local air quality work in Essex, the Essex Air Quality Consortium was formed. Consisting of all Local Authorities in Essex, Essex County Council, the Environment Agency, London Stansted Airport and the University of Essex, the purpose of the Essex Air Quality Consortium is to promote improvements in air quality related issues. Members of the Essex Air Quality Consortium meet on a quarterly basis to discuss common air quality issues, share experiences and best practice in carrying out their duties locally. The partnership provides assistance to all members regarding their obligations under current UK Air Quality legislation. Air pollution does not respect Council boundaries and in Essex the Local Authorities are varied in size and population. Effective options for individual Councils can be limited so the Essex Authorities have agreed to work in partnership with each other to seek joint solutions to air pollution problems. The Essex Air Quality Consortium has been able to represent the people of Essex at a regional and national level through Air Quality Events and Meetings. The group have been able to offer its views and comments on current air quality requirements and any future consultations being considered. The profile of Air Quality in Essex is changing and is becoming more challenging. Due to the declaration of an increasing number of Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) and as a result of increased traffic growth and congestion, the Consortium is working much more closely with the Local Transport Authority in Essex County Council to seek improvements to Air Quality where possible

5 Planning Applications

Chelmsford City Council has identified that the following planning applications and preliminary enquiries could impact on air quality;

6 Air Quality Planning Policies

The following statements relating to Air Quality and environmental protection have been adopted into Chelmsford’s Local Development Framework:

Strategic Objective EPE2:

“Seek to ensure development has a net beneficial effect on the local and global environment by reducing the generation of pollution and the waste and the consumption of natural resources, including fossil fuel-based energy consumption. The generation of energy from renewable resources will be encouraged.”

Policy CP13: Minimising Environmental Impact

“The Council will seek to ensure that development proposals minimise their impact on the environment and that they do not give rise to significant and adverse impacts on health, amenity including Air Quality, and the natural environment”

Policy CP14: Environmental Quality and Landscape Character

“The Council will promote and support the enhancement of the environmental quality of the countryside and settlements”

Policy DC30: Air Quality

“Within designated Air Quality Management Area the Council will promote measures to improve Air Quality and will expect development proposals to reduce sources of air pollution. Where the Council considers that Air Quality objectives are likely to be prejudiced or proposals fall within an Air Quality Management Area, applicants will be required to submit a detailed specialist report which sets out the impact that the proposed development has on Air Quality. Planning permission will not be granted for development where there is a significant adverse impact upon Air Quality within the Air Quality Management Area.”

Policy DC31: Amenity and Pollution

“Planning permission will be refused for development, including changes of use, which will or could potentially give rise to polluting emissions to land, air, and water by reason of noise, light, smell, fumes, vibration or other (including smoke, soot, ash, dust and grit) unless appropriate mitigation measures can be put in place and permanently maintained.

7 Local Transport Plans and Strategies

Chelmsford is covered by the Essex County Council Local Transport Plan (LTP). Within the long term strategy there is a countywide approach with specific local priorities addressed at a more local level. Chelmsford is within ‘The Heart of Essex’ planning area along with the neighbouring Brentwood and Maldon Authorities.

There are a number of general measures in the Essex LTP which are aimed at reducing the impact of road transport on Air Quality. In addition there are a number of transport priorities for the ‘The Heart of Essex’ which will help to improve air quality;

• Providing for, and promoting, sustainable forms of travel; • Delivering transport improvements to support growth, including the North East Chelmsford Station; • Tackling congestion and improving journey-time reliability; and • Maintaining and improving public transport links.

As a commitment to reducing the impact of travel and transport on the environment and to look at new ways of managing the transport needs of staff, Chelmsford City Council operates a Staff Travel Plan. Updated for 2013, this package of measures encourages staff to use safe, healthy and sustainable travel options as an alternative to single-occupancy car use.

The staff travel plan has been awarded Gold standard in Essex County Council's Travel Plan Accreditation Awards. A grant will now be received to use on additional Travel Plan measures and to encourage uptake of sustainable travel methods for staff.

Current initiatives include: • The Pedometer Challenge which will run for four weeks between 5 May and 1 June 2014. Over 150 members of staff have registered. • Chelmsford City Council has joined up with both Greater Anglia and First Buses to offer employees an additional discount when purchasing season tickets to travel to work. Employees can now save 20% off full price season tickets for both the train and bus. • Staff can now purchase a 12-journey bus ticket with First buses. The current price of a 12-journey ticket is; Chelmsford area - £15, All Essex area - £22.50. • Five dedicated car share parking bays have been provided. The spaces can be booked by officers for regular use or for temporary use in the same way as you can book a temporary officer parking space.

The Council has signed up to a car share scheme called Liftshare. Staff can search for members from Chelmsford City Council, from Essex County Council or from the entire network who make a similar journey to them. The scheme has the following aims:

• Saving money - drivers and passengers split the travel costs • Cutting CO2 emissions and local congestion • Providing some friendly company to reduce the stress of driving alone • Finding you a lift if you don't have access to convenient public transport • The system also calculates the financial and CO2 saving each user is making compared to making that journey alone in the car.

In addition to the car share scheme, the Council operates an Emergency Ride Home Scheme for Registered Car Sharers. This facility can be used for transport home quickly in an emergency situation when there is no private transport available.

8 Climate Change Strategies

Chelmsford City Council closely monitors its use of utilities and reports energy use on a monthly basis to premises managers. The Council also publishes external reports of its Carbon emissions and Greenhouse Gas emissions on an annual basis.

The Council has also been participating in the mandatory Carbon Reduction Commitment Energy Efficiency scheme (CRC scheme) and since qualifying for the scheme in 2008 has reduced its electricity consumption so significantly that it no longer needs to participate in the next phase of the scheme.

In recent years the Council has focussed efforts on improving the energy efficiency of its buildings. Projects have included re-lamping Multi-storey Car parks, insulating walls and roofs of buildings, window upgrades and boiler replacements. The Council also carries out energy audits and communicate to staff the need for behavioural change to ensure that energy saving is seen as a necessity across the organisation.

9 Implementation of Action Plans

Chelmsford City Council has an action plan for the Army and Navy AQMA (declared in November 2005). Based on monitoring results from 2008 to 2011, the Detailed Assessment conducted in April 2010 and the USA in 2012, an amendment was made to the AQMA in October 2012 to reduce the size.

10 Conclusions and Proposed Actions 10.1 Conclusions from New Monitoring Data

The Progress Report shows that Chelmsford City Council has measured an exceedance of the Air Quality Objectives for Nitrogen Dioxide within the existing AQMA. Chelmsford City Council has not identified any other pollutant that may be exceeding the Air Quality Objectives.

Analysis of the automatic data has shown that in a number of instances, valid data capture has not reached standards where full confidence can be given to the results.

10.2 Proposed Actions

Proposed actions arising from the 2014 Progress Report are as follows:

• Improve the reliability and data capture of the automatic monitoring units • Standardise the diffusion tube exposure dates to periods as suggested by the Defra calendar of suggested exposure periods 2014 • Continue working with the air quality steering group and other stakeholders to continue to update and improve upon the existing action plan • Progress to the Updating and Screening Assessment in 2015

Appendix 1: Quality Assurance / Quality Control (QA/QC) Data

Automatic Monitoring Sites

Chelmsford City Council operates four automatic monitoring sites across Chelmsford. Data from these sites is collected by a contractor and uploaded to the Chelmsford Air Quality Data website. Data validation checks are made daily to ensure the analysers are working correctly and to identify any abnormal readings that may occur.

The automatic monitoring station equipment is serviced every six months by a contractor who also carry out maintenance callouts when faults are identified.

Each automatic monitoring station uses API M200 NOx analysers which are calibrated fortnightly with a certified reference gas by Council officers. At three of these sites there are triplicate NO 2 diffusion tubes to provide co-location data for calculation of a local bias adjustment factor.

Data ratification for the NO 2 analysers contains following processes; • Applying the calibration factors from calibrations, maintenance visits and servicing. • Checking for equipment drift with adjustments made where detected • Comparison of data with other pollutants and other appropriate Essex Air monitoring sites • Checking for and deletion of erroneous data that can be linked to analyser failure or unrepresentative periods of operation (road works within the immediate vicinity of the monitoring site)

BAM 1020 PM10 analysers are installed at three of the monitoring stations. Regular tape changes are made to ensure minimal data loss. Ratification includes removal of data that corresponds with tape break episodes.

At the Chignal St James site, API M400 O3 and API 100 SO2 analysers are installed.

Non Automatic Monitoring Sites

The Workplace Analysis Scheme for Proficiency (WASP) is an independent analytical proficiency-testing (PT) scheme, operated by the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL). WASP offers a number of test samples designed to test the proficiency of laboratories undertaking analysis of chemical pollutants in workplace and ambient air. One such sample is the WASP NO 2 test sample type that is distributed to participants in a quarterly basis.

The following table summarises laboratory performance in WASP NO 2 Proficiency Testing Scheme for Rounds 120-123 which took place in 2013.

Calculations for the estimation of annual mean concentrations from short-term monitoring data

Two diffusion tube locations were new in July therefore both had a capture rate of less than 75%. For the estimation of annual mean concentrations, two AURN urban background sites were chosen;

• Southend • Thurrock

Annual data for these automatic monitoring stations was obtained from the Defra UK- Air Resource. The data has been ratified.

Diffusion tube bias adjustment factors

Chelmsford City Council undertook monitoring at 45 NO 2 diffusion tubes sites in 2013.

• The diffusion tubes were supplied and analysed by Gradko International (UKAS Testing Laboratory number 2187) with a preparation method of 20% triethanolamine (TEA) in water.

Chelmsford City Council has triplicate diffusion tubes at the Chignal St James, Rainsford Lane and Springfield Road continuous monitoring sites. Historically the local bias adjustment factor has been calculated using the Chignal St James rural background site however for this report the local bias adjustment was calculated using the Springfield Road site. This site is seen to be more representative of the traffic network in Chelmsford and is in close proximity (50m) of the CB32 diffusion tube location at Abbotts Place which the raw annual mean showed an exceedance.

Local Adjustment Calculation

The average annual mean value measured by the diffusion tubes at the Springfield Road AQMS was 34µg/m3 and the mean Nitrogen Dioxide levels measured by the continuous monitor were 30µg/m 3. Using the AEA spreadsheet a bias adjustment figure of 0.88 (0.77 to 1.02 with 95% confidence interval) from all data was calculated.

Figure A.1 Local bias adjustment factor calculation

The bias adjustment factor of 0.88 was applied to the raw data as shown in Table A.4.

CB26 & CB33 Annualised using data from Southend and Thurrock AURN sites shown in Appendix 1

Following the bias adjustment calculations two diffusion tube locations outside of the AQMA exceeded the air quality objective for nitrogen dioxide.

These locations were the triplicate location (CB 27, CB27b, CB27c) at Howe Green Interchange which with bias adjustment applied measured 40ug/m3 +/-6ug/m3 as seen in Figure A.8 and the triplicate location (CB70a, CB70b, CB70c) on the Southend Road, Howe Green which with bias adjustment applied measured 48ug/m3 +/-6ug/m3 as seen in Figure A.9. Both of these measurement locations are in place for the same nearby receptor.

For the purpose of estimating the concentration levels at the receptor, location CB27 was chosen as it is much closer to the property. In addition, diffusion tube location CB70 is 55m from the receptor and falls outside of the recommended range for the spreadsheet tool.

Figure A.3 Calculation of concentrations at the receptor for CB 27 using the Nitrogen Dioxide fall off with distance calculator

The adjusted concentration is estimated to be 36.0ug/m3 which is considered to be borderline. Figure A.4 Adjustment of Triplicate Tubes at the Chignal St James AQMS
