The effects on local roads and the impacts on vulnerable sites from air quality effects on the wider road network should be assessed using traffic projections and the 200m distance criterion. The designated sites at risk from local impacts are those within 200m of a road with increased traffic, which feature habitats that are vulnerable to nitrogen deposition/acidification.

APIS provides a searchable database and information on pollutants. The results of the assessment should inform updates to the SA, which will need to identify appropriate mitigation to address any predicted adverse impacts to the natural environment.
