Representation Summary:

Objective 5:
- Inconsistent with national policy, fails to comply with legal limits. Must be requirement.
- Strengthen commitment to Improve Air Quality, no real improvement over past decade.
- No funding in financial plan for improving air quality.
- No AQA. Must be completed urgently. Include assessments for early years of developments, construction traffic, rail/sea and different levels of modal shift rather than unsubstantiated levels assumed.
- Pointless undertaking an AQA in 2036, banned non-electric vehicles. Early years worst. Suggest earlier assessment.
- Ambiguity over 2004 emission levels cited.
- Object to removal of 'improve Air Quality' objective/ indicator.

Change suggested by respondent:

Undertake an air quality assessment earlier in the plan period and not 2036. Reinstate 'Number of recorded air quality exceedances' as indicator.
