Air Quality

EC directives, PPS23 guidance and the Environment Act now require assessment of air quality impacts prior to achieving planning permission for new developments. Mayer Brown has the experience and expertise to undertake these detailed assessments. Using highly trained personnel, supported by state of the art modelling software, we evaluate the significance of potential impacts and recommend appropriate mitigation. Our pro-active methodology means that we can advise clients of potential problems early in the planning process and provide essential advice on compliance with environmental legislation.

Where required, Mayer Brown can help set up and manage air quality monitoring stations, providing interpretation of collected data and assessing the significance of monitored air quality against national and international standards.
