Air quality

Under the Environment Act 1995 and subsequent Regulations, local authorities have to review the present quality of air and the likely future quality of air and assess whether the nationally prescribed objectives are likely to be achieved. Tandridge carried out Updating and Screening Assessments (USA) of air quality in 2003, 2006 and 2009. The assessments were intended to identify those aspects that have changed since the first round of reviews and assessments and may require further assessment. If either USA had indicated that pollutants and specific locations required further work then a Detailed Assessment would have been required. The reports can be viewed by clicking on the following links USA 2003, USA 2006 and USA 2009.

Progress Reports (PR) are required to be made in the years when the authority is not carrying out a USA or a detailed assessment of air quality. To view a copy of the progress reports, click the following links PR 2004, PR 2005, PR 2007, PR 2008 and PR 2010.

The reports show that the air quality objectives for the pollutants of concern in Tandridge appear to be within the Government and EU limits and so no detailed assessments are required. All the reports have been submitted to DEFRA and been accepted.
