Air Quality Assessment for Planning, Northampton

NoiseAir regularly carry out air quality assessments as part of a planning application. If a proposed development is located in a local air quality management area, air quality assessments are often requested by the local authority to ensure that residents in the newly proposed development will not be subject to adverse air pollution. This is often due to traffic, but can also be due to nearby commercial pollutants and odours. In this case, NoiseAir carried out an air quality assessment which demonstrated high levels of pollutants on the road adjacent to the new development. This had implications on ventilation requirements for the building and we were able to address this issue before any building / services installation work commenced.
