Issue details

Air quality monitoring data recorded at Rumbold’s Hill, Midhurst since July 2015 indicates that the air quality there breaches the UK air quality objective for nitrogen dioxide (expressed as an annual mean concentration). CDC is therefore obliged to declare the affected area by Order an ‘Air Quality Management Area’. The declaration process requires CDC to undertake a public consultation on this matter and to report back on the consultation to Cabinet prior to declaring an AQMA.
Recommendation:
That Cabinet resolves to:
Approve a 1 month public consultation on a proposed Air Quality Management Area declaration at Rumbold’s Hill, Midhurst and to subsequently report back to Cabinet.
