The assessment of monitoring results and predicted changes in local air quality, associated with local changes and developments indicates that the local air quality objectives are being met and currently it is not necessary to progress to a detailed air quality assessment. Although in 2013 there was a reduction in the number of developments and planning applications that could have an impact on air quality, there continues to be a focus on these developments. Maintaining a proactive approach enables potential impacts to be assessed and where necessary, mitigation measures can be implemented, before local air quality is significantly impacted, this also avoids unexpected costs and delays being imposed on developers or businesses. This Progress Report details the latest results of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) monitoring undertaken in 2013. Although for most sites there has been an increase in NO2 concentrations, the monitoring indicates that the annual average air quality objective for NO2 has not been exceeded. In addition there are currently no locations, where the air quality objectives are close to being exceeded and are experiencing increases in NO2, that would indicate a likely breach of the air quality objective, in the near future. The next report on air quality in Rutland will be the 2015 Updating Screening and Assessment Report.

The 2013 mid year estimate for the population of Rutland was reported by the Office of National Statistics as being 37,369. There are two small towns, Oakham and Uppingham, with populations of around eleven thousand and five thousand respectively, the rest of the county’s population are distributed in rural villages and hamlets. Towns and villages in Rutland have expanded naturally over time and as such there are a number of town and village centre locations where housing was built next to what are now busy A roads and B roads. Traffic on roads is the principal source of pollutants that impact on local air quality in the County. 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 exceedances 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 exceedance of an Air Quality Objective, the Local Authority (LA) should LAQM Progress Report 2014 5 Rutland County Council 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 micrograms per cubic metre µg/m3 (milligrams per cubic metre, mg/m3 for carbon monoxide) with the number of exceedences in each year that are permitted (where applicable).

    Changing Communities pages 7/10/07 11:06 Page 1 Chapter 13 Changing Communities Paul Reeve This chapter takes a brief look at the way life has changed in the villages close to Rutland Water: Burley, Edith Weston, Egleton, Empingham, Gunthorpe, The Hambletons, Lyndon, Manton, Normanton and Whitwell. Church Street, Rutland’s population has more than doubled over the last two hundred Manton, in 1905 years, from just over 16,000 in 1801 to 34,563 at the 2001 Census. However, (Hart) for the villages around Rutland Water, population has grown more slowly. At 2,069 their 1901 population was little changed from the 2,132 of 1801. The increase in the first half of the nineteenth century was offset by stagnation in the 1850s and 1860s and by a decline in the 1870s, 1880s and 1890s. Rutland’s agriculture in these final decades of the nineteenth century was affected by a combination of low prices, a shift in emphasis from arable to pasture, and a big decline in the number of small farms. By 2001 the population for these same villages was only 3,183. But for service personnel living at Edith Weston and the resident population of Ashwell Prison in the far corner of Burley parish, the figure would be even lower. – 303 – Changing Communities pages 7/10/07 11:07 Page 2 The variation in population of the Rutland Water villages between 1801 and 2001 compared to that of the whole of Rutland (RO) The creation of Rutland Water displaced approximately twenty families, as recorded by the Stamford Mercury of 19th June 1970.
