Introduction This Progress Report is a requirement of the Environment Act 1995, Part IV, which places a duty on local authorities to periodically review and assess air quality within their location. The Progress Report follows on from the second Updating and Screening Assessment (USA) which was carried out in 2006 as part of the third round of Review and Assessment. The objective of the Progress Report is to provide continuity in the Local Air Quality Management process by reporting any potential changes in air quality that may occur between the three yearly review and assessments of air quality. This report has been compiled with reference to the Progress Report Guidance (LAQM.PRG(03)) which was published by DeFRA in 2003. It presents information which has been collated since the production of the USA report, including: air quality monitoring data, information about emission sources and any proposed developments which have the potential to affect air quality in the District. Outcomes of previous Review and Assessments for Uttlesford Uttlesford District Council undertook their First Round of review and assessment, including Stage 1 and 2 reports, between 1998 – 1999. The main air quality issues were found to be emissions of NO2 and PM10 from vehicles on the M11 and A120. It was predicted that all of the air quality objectives would be achieved and that it was therefore not necessary to declare any Air Quality Management Areas (AQMA) for any pollutant. The second USA reconsidered the seven health based air quality objectives and concluded that there was no risk of exceedence. Therefore, a detailed assessment was not required. The third USA in 2006 reconsidered the seven health based air quality objectives and concluded that there was a risk of exceedence relating to NO2. Therefore a Detailed Assessment was completed and three Air Quality Management Areas were declared within Saffron Walden (see Appendix). 1 Uttlesford District Council LAQM Progress Report 2008 2. Monitoring data Uttlesford District Council has been measuring air quality in the District since 1998 using two automatic air quality monitoring stations. One is located in Saffron Walden and measures concentrations of oxides of nitrogen and PM10. The second site is located in Takeley and measures concentrations of oxides of nitrogen, PM10 and ozone. Uttlesford District Council also uses a mobile monitoring station to measure air quality. The monitor was moved to St Giles, Great Hallingbury in July 2007. The two fixed sites are classified as urban background and the location of the monitoring stations is shown in figure 2.1. In addition to the continuous monitoring, there are 19 nitrogen dioxide diffusion tubes located in the district. The tubes are supplied and analysed by Gradko using the 50% TEA in Acetone preparation method. The results of the monitoring programmes are summarised in tables 2.1 to 2.4 below. Table 2.1: Summary of monitoring results for Saffron Walden 2007 Pollutant Statistic 2007 Nitrogen dioxide Annual mean ( g/m3) 25.7 Max. 1 hour mean 248.7 Exceedances of hourly 1 objective Data capture 85.1% Particles (PM10) Annual mean 17.6 Max. 24 hour mean 87.6 Exceedances of 24 hour mean 14 objective Data capture 83.7 Table 2.2: Summary of monitoring results for Takeley 2007 Pollutant Statistic 2007 Nitrogen dioxide Annual mean ( g/m3) 19.6 Max. 1 hour mean 84.2 Exceedances of hourly 0 objective Data capture 39.3 Particles (PM10) Annual mean 18.2 Max. 24 hour mean 69.0 Exceedances of 24 hour mean 4 objective Data capture 78.7 Italics: less than 75% data capture 2 Uttlesford District Council LAQM Progress Report 2008 Table 2.3: Summary of monitoring results for St Giles, Gt Hallingbury (mobile site) July – December 2007 Pollutant Statistic 2007 Nitrogen Dioxide Annual mean ( g/m3) 23.4 Particles (PM10) Annual mean 17.8 3 Table 2.4 NO2 Diffusion tube monitoring results 2002 - 2007 (in µg/m ), with bias adjustment applied. 2010 projected from 2007 Site name 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2010 High Street 1 45.3 44.6 40.1 43.6 38.7 37.1 33.0 Gibson Gardens 3 15.7 18.0 18.9 16.6 16.6 16.0 14.2 YHA 4 38.9 42.3 43.2 44.6 40.9 36.2 32.2 East Street 5 37.8 43.4 46.7 46.9 42.3 42.9 38.5 Airport 1 28.6 29.7 26.1 25.5 22.7 Airport 2 28.0 29.1 26.2 25.8 23.0 Stansted 20.5 18.4 19.3 20.2 18.2 16.5 14.6 Hallingbury 30.1 35.8 32.8 33.3 30.7 28.1 25.0 Burton End 36.7 38.4 41.5 45.9 39.2 40.1 35.7 Newport 24.5 31.0 31.5 32.8 28.3 26.9 24.0 33, High Street 11 33.8 34.6 30.8 1, Church Street 12 27.1 27.6 24.6 39-41 East Street 13 30.9 31.6 28.2 Hill House, High Street 27.2 25.0 22.2 14 Takeley Hill 15 16.3 14.5 Elman’s Green 16 16.9 15.0 South Gate 17 14.9 13.3 Technical guidance recommends the co-location of diffusion tubes with an automatic analyser in order to obtain a local bias adjustment factor. To date there has been no co-location of diffusion tubes, therefore the default bias adjustment factors have been applied, as listed below. However, triplicate co- location at the Saffron Walden automatic monitoring site commenced in January 2008, with a view to providing a local bias adjustment for future monitoring results. Table 2.5: Bias adjustment factors 2002-2007 Year Factor DEFRA helpdesk 2002 1.27 2003 1.11 2004 1.1 2005 1.18 2006 1.01 2007 0.93 3 Uttlesford District Council LAQM Progress Report 2008 Nitrogen dioxide Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide at the three continuous monitoring sites are well below objective limits. The highest concentration of 25.7 gm-3 was measured at the Saffron Walden site. Monitoring data was only available for a 5 month period at Takeley due to instrument failure and a 6 month period at the Hallingbury mobile site, due to a change of location of the mobile equipment. Diffusion tube monitoring results show that there were two exceedances of the annual mean in 2007. One of these was in an existing AQMA, and one was at the Burton End site near Stansted. The Council is continuing to monitor the Burton End site, although there is no requirement to carry out a Detailed Assessment as the site does not represent relevant exposure. Particulates (PM10) Concentrations of PM10 at the three continuous monitoring sites were well below objective limits during 2007. There were no exceedences of the 24 hour mean objective at any of the sites. Monitoring data was only available for a 5 month period at Takeley due to instrument failure and a 6 month period at the Hallingbury mobile site, due to a change of location of the mobile equipment. 4 Rochford District Council LAQM

  • Local Plan Duty to Co-Operate Scoping Report Consultation Statement November 2015
    Chelmsford Local Plan Duty to Co-operate Scoping Report Consultation Statement November 2015 Local Plan Duty to Co-operate Scoping Report Consultation Statement Introduction This statement contains details of the representations submitted to the Duty to Co-operate Scoping Report published for consultation with those public bodies that are subject to the legal duty. This includes neighbouring planning authorities, Highways England, Natural England and the Local Enterprise Partnership. The consultation ran from 9 July to 21 August 2015 and posed 15 questions. Summary of Responses In total, 22 different bodies and organisations responded to the consultation. A summary of the main issues raised in the representations and how these will be taken forward through the preparation of the new Local Plan is set out below. The full representations are available to view on the City Council’s consultation portal at http://consult.chelmsford.gov.uk/portal. Question 1 - Do you agree that the correct cross-boundary strategic matters have been identified? Most of the responses to this question agree that the correct cross-boundary matters have been identified correctly. Two argue for slight changes: not appropriate weight or prominence given to further and higher (Writtle College) and green infrastructure should be seen as a strategic matter (Natural England). Essex County Council (ECC) suggest a number of wider South East issues could include: demographic pressures and housing need, supply and delivery; supporting and accommodating economic growth: strategic transport infrastructure (commuter patterns, transport modes, orbital/radial routes, freight; environment (water, energy, waste, minerals, Green Belt, AONB) and public services (health, skills/training).

  • Parliamentary Constituences
    POLICY & FINANCE COMMITTEE – Item 10 10 June 2003 PROPOSALS FOR PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUENCIES IN ESSEX, SOUTHEND-ON-SEA AND THURROCK AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR ROCHFORD DISTRICT COUNCIL’S AREA. 1 SUMMARY 1.1 On 8 May 2003 the Boundary Commission for England published provisional recommendations for changes to sixteen of the seventeen existing parliamentary constituencies in the area covered by the county of Essex, and the unitary authorities of Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock. 1.2 The combined area of Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock will be allocated an extra, eighteenth, parliamentary seat. The allocation of the seat will require major changes to be made to some of the existing constituency boundaries. 1.3 This report summarises the main points in the news release from the Boundary Commission for England on their proposals for parliamentary constituency boundaries in the county of Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock and the impact of those proposals on the Rochford District. Representations about the proposals should be submitted by 15 June 2003. 2 INTRODUCTION 2.1 Following the Periodic Electoral Reviews undertaken by the Local Government Commission for England, (now the Boundary Committee for England), the new ward boundaries in Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock were confirmed and came into effect from May 2001-2004. These reviews resulted in sixteen of the new wards in Essex, Southend-on-Sea and Thurrock being divided between constituencies. 2.2 In order to remedy this, the Boundary Commission for England have undertaken a review of the above constituencies (by virtue of their powers under the Parliamentary Constituencies Act 1986, as amended by the Boundary Commissions Act 1992).
