We support the idea of developments being at least “air quality neutral” (D1) and find little to disagree with in EN8. Clearly defined enforcement measures, with consequences for infringements are of high importance. We should ensure that any knock-on effects of the development are considered and minimised - including increase of traffic in bottle-neck locations on the road network as a whole. This should include the effects on residents travelling to work in neighbouring districts/ authorities. A holistic approach to this issue is encouraged. Does this policy also apply to commercial development, if so - would regulations be different to those which apply to housing development?
