LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 Derbyshire Dales District Council

Executive Summary: Air Quality in Our Area Air Quality in Derbyshire Dales District Council

Air pollution is associated with a number of adverse health impacts. It is recognised as a contributing factor in the onset of heart disease and cancer. Additionally, air pollution particularly affects the most vulnerable in society: children and older people, and those with heart and lung conditions. There is also often a strong correlation with equalities issues, because areas with poor air quality are also often the less affluent areas 1,2.

The annual health cost to society of the impacts of particulate matter alone in the UK is estimated to be around £16 billion 3.

Derbyshire Dales is primarily a rural area with a total population in the region of 70,000. The total area of the District is approximately 780 square kilometres and half of the District is within the National Park.

The District is situated within the and is bounded by the local councils of High Peak Borough, City, North East Derbyshire District, Amber Valley Borough, South Derbyshire District, East Staffordshire District and Staffordshire Moorlands District.

There is a strong tradition of agricultural and a long history of mineral extraction. Vein minerals are still extracted today, primarily to provide fluorspar for use in the chemical and steel industries and limestone is extensively quarried for aggregate. Where the purity of calcium carbonate is high, fine powders are produced for use in industries such as glass making, foodstuffs and pharmaceuticals. Light industry has developed at a number of sites, notably the Airfield Industrial Estate in Ashbourne. During 2018 we regulated 57 installations under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016.

The road network in the District is extensive with the A623, A6, A52 and A50 acting as important links between the North West and the East Midlands, although there are no

LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 3 Derbyshire Dales District Council motorways. The Hope Valley railway line passes through the north of the District and local trains serve Grindleford and Hathersage, and Matlock is the terminus of a branch line from Derby. Peak Rail is a voluntary organisation that operates trains on a five kilometre section of track between Matlock and Rowsley South using steam and diesel traction. The Ecclesbourne Valley Railway is operating part of the branch line between Wirksworth and Duffield.

Derbyshire Dales also has a large lead smelting business in the area, H.J.Enthoven & Sons. H.J.Enthoven & Sons is an A1 process regulated by the Environment Agency under the Environmental Permitting Regulations 2016 and is the largest single site producer of recycled lead in Europe. Lead levels have declined significantly in recent times due to work undertaken by the company.

Nitrogen oxide diffusion tubes continue to be used and levels remain consistent for most sites, however a newly deployed tube in the Ashbourne area has shown elevated levels and so further tubes are to be deployed in the area. This will be undertaken with a view to carrying out a detailed assessment following a suitable period of monitoring, dependant on results.

Actions to Improve Air Quality

Air Quality in Derbyshire Dales is generally good, however, Derbyshire Dales District Council has this year incorporated climate change as one of the priority objectives. This will hopefully have a positive influence on air quality in the area as associated actions are implemented. One such are is the review of diesel operated ice cream vans in our parks. It is proposed to review the current contracts, and when they are next issued provide incentives to change to electric powered units.

In addition, the East Midlands Air Quality Planning Guide has recently been finalised and we are working towards this being implemented through the planning system in all local authorities in the region, including Derbyshire Dales.

Additional Nox tubes are to be deployed in Ashbourne and Matlock, and further existing ones re-located.

LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 4 Derbyshire Dales District Council

Conclusions and Priorities

In the coming year we are increasing our monitoring of Nitrogen Oxides in Ashbourne and Matlock. A large scale planning application has been submitted although not yet approved in Matlock for a mixed use housing and commercial site which was supported with an EIA. On consultation advice was provided in line with the East Midlands Air Quality planning guide.

Local Engagement and How to get Involved

Information about air quality is available on our website at http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/environment-and-waste/pollution-noise/air- pollution.

Derbyshire County Council; Endorsement from the Director of Public Health

Air pollution has a significant effect on public health, and poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK. Long-term exposure to air pollution has been shown to reduce life expectancy, due to its impact on cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and lung cancer. Many everyday activities such as transport, industrial processes, farming, energy generation and domestic heating can have a detrimental effect on air quality.

The annual status report is fundamental to ensuring the monitoring of trends and identification of areas of local air pollution exposure. The cumulative effect of a range of interventions has the greatest potential to reduce local air pollution and improve population health, as such the annual status report and associated action plans provide an opportunity to engage a range of partners.

Public health will continue work with partners to advocate for improvements in Air Quality and provide expertise and evidence to inform policy.

LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 7 Derbyshire Dales District Council

1 Local Air Quality Management This report provides an overview of air quality in Derbyshire Dales District Council during 2018. It fulfils the requirements of Local Air Quality Management (LAQM) as set out in Part IV of the Environment Act (1995) 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 an exceedance is considered likely the local authority must 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. This Annual Status Report (ASR) is an annual requirement showing the strategies employed by Derbyshire Dales District Council to improve air quality and any progress that has been made.

The statutory air quality objectives applicable to LAQM in England can be found in in Appendix E.

LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 8 Derbyshire Dales District Council

2 Actions to Improve Air Quality 2.1 Air Quality Management Areas

Air Quality Management Areas (AQMAs) are declared when there is an exceedance or likely exceedance of an air quality objective. After declaration, the authority must prepare an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP) within 12-18 months setting out measures it intends to put in place in pursuit of compliance with the objectives.

Derbyshire Dales District Council currently does not have any AQMAs. For reference, a map of Derbyshire Dales District Council’s monitoring locations is available in Appendix D.

2.2 Progress and Impact of Measures to address Air Quality in Derbyshire Dales District Council

Defra’s appraisal of last year’s ASR concluded

1. The Council has added a new monitoring location to the network at the end of 2017. The expansion of their monitoring network is supported and encouraged. The Council should also consider the low concentrations recorded at many sites and look to relocate some of these resources in order to identify new hotspots.

2. The report contains no discussion of local developments; future reports should address any changes that may impact future air quality.

3. Further to the above the Council are encouraged to develop more specific and direct

measures to mitigate PM 2.5 emissions. For further guidance please refer to TG16.

4. The Councils list of measures has not been updated recently. Although it is encouraging to see the Council are conscious of issues and are actively working to improve local air quality, despite no formal AQAP, this document should be as up to date as possible. Discussion should reflect on progress and barriers.

Derbyshire Dales District Council has taken forward a number of direct measures during the current reporting year of 2018 in pursuit of improving local air quality. Details of all measures completed, in progress or planned are set out in Table 2.1.

LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 9 Derbyshire Dales District Council

Derbyshire Dales District Council expects the following measures to be completed over the course of the next reporting year:

• Additional Nox tubes in Ashbourne, following high levels on Road further tubes are to be deployed. This will be followed by a detailed assessment in the following year.

• Additional and re-located Nox tubes in Matlock following submission of large scale mixed development planning application.

Derbyshire Dales District Council’s priorities for the coming year are

• Remain an active participant in the County multi-disciplinary air quality group

• Take forward climate change agenda

2.3 PM 2.5 – Local Authority Approach to Reducing Emissions and/or Concentrations

As detailed in Policy Guidance LAQM.PG16 (Chapter 7), local authorities are expected to work towards reducing emissions and/or concentrations of PM 2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 2.5µm or less). There is clear evidence that PM 2.5 has a significant impact on human health, including premature mortality, allergic reactions, and cardiovascular diseases.

Derbyshire Dales District Council is taking the following measures to address PM 2.5 :

• A partnership of local authorities in Derbyshire linked with Public Health England and other partner agencies to create an Air Quality working Group. The aim is to raise the profile of air quality and make air quality a priority for the local Health and Wellbeing Boards.

• Planning policy guidance for adoption by local planning authorities. This is now complete and is being launched at present. Workshop sessions are taking place to get this adopted across Derbyshire.

• Annual County Air Quality Report taken to the local Health and Wellbeing Board. This has encompassed the work to map current work on air quality and look at what further work can be undertaken going forwards.

• Development and implementation of a County low emission infrastructure strategy to support the acceleration of LEVs locally

• Development and implementation of a County strategic plan for cycling to ensure continued investment in infrastructure • Promote the uptake of ebikes

• Active travel promotion engagement with schools and workplaces • Increased public awareness of the impact of solid fuel burning

• Healthy homes project replacing coal heating

LAQM Annual Status Report 2019 13 Derbyshire Dales District Council 3 Air Quality Monitoring Data and Comparison with Air Quality Objectives and National Compliance 3.1 Summary of Monitoring Undertaken

3.1.1 Non-Automatic Monitoring Sites

Derbyshire Dales District Council undertook non- automatic (passive) monitoring of

NO 2 at 13 sites during 2018. Table A.1 in Appendix A shows the details of the sites.

Maps showing the location of the monitoring sites are provided in Appendix D. Further details on Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) for the diffusion tubes, including bias adjustments and any other adjustments applied (e.g. “annualisation” and/or distance correction), are included in Appendix C.

3.2 Individual Pollutants

The air quality monitoring results presented in this section are, where relevant, adjusted for bias, “annualisation” and distance correction. Further details on adjustments are provided in Appendix C.

3.2.1 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO 2)

Table A.2 in Appendix A compares the ratified and adjusted monitored NO 2 annual mean concentrations for the past 5 years with the air quality objective of 40µg/m 3.

For diffusion tubes, the full 2018 dataset of monthly mean values is provided in Appendix B.

A new location at Buxton Road, Ashbourne has exceeded the air quality objectives on a regular basis. As a result it is planned to increase the number of tubes in this area. Once a suitable amount of data is captured it is planned to carry out a detailed assessment.
