Neither the long-term or short-term Air Quality Objectives for PM 10 were breached in Port Talbot. It is not considered to be appropriate to revoke or modify the AQMA at this time. Unusually, the highest number of PM 10 exceedances was measured at the Little Warren site, which is outside the AQMA. Normally the number of exceedances is greatest at monitoring stations in the central part of the AQMA i.e. Prince Street and Port Talbot Fire Station. It is possible that this may be a consequence of unusual prevailing wind directions causing emissions from the steel works to impact at a different location. The acquisition of further data will shed more light on this. There were no exceedances of Air Quality Objectives for sulphur dioxide (SO 2), lead (Pb) or carbon monoxide (CO).

    NEATH PORT TALBOT COUNTY BOROUGH COUNCIL LOCAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2011-2026) EXAMINATION IN PUBLIC: Matter 5: Affordable Housing, Gypsy & Traveller and Other Special Housing Action Point 2 The Council and Welsh Government to provide the recently updated Acceptable Cost Guideline (ACG) data for the plan strategy areas. Council’s Response The Welsh Government publishes Acceptable Cost Guidance (ACG) figures to be used as a guide for the likely acceptable cost for housing schemes developed with Social Housing Grant. In April 2015, the Welsh Government published the latest ’Acceptable Cost Guidance / On Costs for use with Social Housing Grant Funded Housing in Wales’. This document replaced the previous version (dated May 2012). A copy of the guidance is appended. The guidance sets five separate pricing bands, which take account of varying market areas and the variation on costs within different areas. Within each Local Authority, areas are placed within each band. The pricing bands for the Neath Port Talbot LDP strategy areas (further broken down by spatial areas) are as follows: Coastal Corridor Strategy Area Neath Spatial Area Briton Ferry – Band 1 Coedffranc - Band 2 Dyffryn Clydach - Band 2 Tonna – Band 2 Blaenhonddan – Band 3 Neath – Band 3 Port Talbot Spatial Area Bryn – Band 1 Cwmafan - Band 1 Sandfields East - Band 1 Sandfields West - Band 1 Taibach – Band 1 Aberavon – Band 2 Baglan - Band 2 Baglan Bay - Band 2 Margam - Band 2 Margam Moors - Band 2 Port Talbot - Band 2 Valleys Strategy Area Pontardawe Cilybebyll - Band 1 Pontardawe - Band 1 Afan Valley Glyncorrwg - Band 1 Pelenna - Band 1 Amman Valley Gwaun Cae Gurwen - Band 1 Dulais Valley Crynant – Band 1 Onllwyn - Band 1 Seven Sisters – Band 1 Neath Valley Blaengwrach – Band 1 Glynneath - Band 1 Resolven - Band 1 Clyne - Band 2 Swansea Valley Cwmllynfell - Band 1 Ystalyfera – Band 1 Acceptable Cost Guidance/On-Costs for use with Social Housing Grant Funded Housing in Wales April 2015 WG25108 © Crown Copyright 2015 Digital ISBN 978 1 4734 3451 5 1.
