Representation Summary:

Air Quality (y)

The delivery of the spine road for East of Lutterworth SDA will facilitate a reduction in traffic passing through Lutterworth town centre and consequent concentrations of air pollution. However, the Consortium has concerns as to the specific wording 'no moderate or worse adverse impact' in respect of impacts of the Lutterworth AQMA. This phraseology is not consistent with national policy which is concerned with preventing 'unacceptable levels' of air pollution (see bullet point 5 of paragraph 109 of the Framework).
