Response to "Draft national plan for tackling nitrogen dioxide in our towns and cities"

Decision Maker: Executive Member for Health and Public Protection

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

To consider and approve the Council’s consultation response to the DEFRA consultation on the “Draft national plan for tackling nitrogen dioxide in our towns and cities”.

 

The environment group ClientEarth won a Supreme Court ruling against the Government in November 2016. The ruling found that the 2015 National Air Quality Plan was not sufficient in that it would not bring down air pollution levels within a sufficient timeframe.  As a result of this the government, through DEFRA, has produced a revised Draft National Air Quality Action Plan.  This was published on 5 May 2017 and is out for consultation until 15 June 2017.  The plan names 40 UK towns and cities where positive action is necessary to reduce air pollution levels, based on data from computer modelling.  Fareham is one of the towns listed, it is therefore important that the Council responds to this consultation.

Decision:

That the Executive Member agrees that the Council response, as attached as Appendix A to this report, be submitted to the Government’s consultation on the Draft National Air Quality Action Plan (which closes on 15 June 2017).

Report author: Ian Rickman

Publication date: 13/06/2017

Date of decision: 13/06/2017

Decided at meeting: 13/06/2017 - Executive Portfolio for Health and Public Protection

Effective from: 23/06/2017
