Increased traffic, the construction of new roads and the upgrading of existing roads can negatively affect designated sites due to air quality impacts. We recommend that potential impacts to vulnerable sites are assessed using traffic projections and the 200m distance criterion followed by local Air Quality modelling where required.

Large infrastructure opportunities to secure net gains for biodiversity and wider
environmental gains (HRA, page 9), please include within the supportive text of the
policy. Policy requirements for large infrastructure projects to deliver measurable biodiversity net gain, in accordance with NPPF and Defra 25 YEP, should be included with relevant policies.
