Decision Maker: Healthy Communities Policy Advisory Group
Decision status: For Determination
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
To present the air quality action plan for
Iver
Decision:
The PAG received a report which sought Members views on the draft Air Quality Action Plan, which set out how stakeholders would work to improve air quality in the Iver Air Quality Management Area. The Action Plan would be subject to public consultation over a 12 week period via the website, local and social media.
Having considered the advice of the PAG, the Portfolio Holder RESOLVED that the draft Air Quality Action Plan be approved for formal consultation and following consultation and feedback that the action plan be finalised for approval by Cabinet and DEFRA.
Reasons for the decision:
The reason for the decision is that the Council was legally obliged to work to reduce concentrations of Nitrogen Dioxide within the AQMA in the Ivers. Members of the public were asked for their views on the proposed action plan as improving air quality relies on a collective effort and was dependent on their support and also that of local business and other interested parties.
Alternative options considered:
There were no other options – the Environment Act 1995 obliged Local Authorities to develop an Air Quality Action Plan.
