Air Quality

We offer a comprehensive service to model, monitor and analyse air quality, delivering assessments for a broad range of projects and purposes, for both private and public sector clients.

Wide experience

Our extensive experience includes supporting planning submissions and permit applications for both small and major schemes. These include residential, commercial, mixed-use developments and airports, as well as major infrastructure, mineral extraction and industrial schemes with both consultancy and air quality monitoring on site.

Planning

Air Quality can be a key factor in planning decisions and our team can prepare a formal Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), an application for an Environmental Permit, or a standalone air quality assessment to help progress the project.

We can also provide modelling and monitoring to support our findings, including screening and detailed dispersion models for road, industrial and odour assessments.

Workplace exposure monitoring, as well as indoor and ambient air quality plans and testing for BREEAM HEA 02, is also part of our remit.

Specialist support

Some projects demand additional specialist support and we have the skillset to carry this out, whether it’s Expert Witness representation, peer review, local air quality management support or impact assessments.

Compliance

The UK is currently non-compliant with the EU Air Quality Directive and the date of likely compliance is uncertain.

Planning applications must show that the proposals meet local and national air quality regulations, particularly when air quality problems have been identified. Where a development has the potential to have an adverse impact on air quality, measures must be put in place to reduce the impact.

Industry recognition

For added reassurance, we have IAQM and IES accredited consultants who provide comprehensive support. All our site visiting staff hold valid CSCS cards.
