Duty to co-operate? Not specified
Objective 5:
1. Inconsistent with national policy, fails to comply with legal limits. Must be requirement.
2. Strengthen commitment to Improve Air Quality, no real improvement over past decade.
3. No funding in IBC’s financial plan for improving air quality.
4.No AQA. Must be completed urgently. Include assessments for early years of developments, construction-related traffic and rail/sea traffic and impacts of different levels of modal shift rather than unsubstantiated levels assumed.
5. Little point undertaking an AQA in 2036 as ban on non-electric vehicles. Early years likely to be worst. Suggest earlier assessment.
6. Ambiguity over 2004 emission levels cited.
Undertake an air quality assessment earlier in the plan period and not 2036.
