Aether is working with consultants AEA to develop an integrated framework for air quality and climate change emissions data for Oxford City Council. This framework will be used by the Council to provide evidence of impacts of measures undertaken in the city to reduce emissions and to help make decisions on future impacts including reviewing the Oxford Low Emissions Strategy.
Aether and AQ Consultants have been awarded a contract by the Low Emission Strategy Partnership to review the Low Emission Toolkit and accompanying documentation and the National Assessment Report. The work will be completed by June.
Aether has been asked to undertake an air quality assessment for a proposed development of 76 residential units in Southwark and Lambeth. Both London Local Authorities have declared Air Quality Management Areas, primarily due to high levels of traffic congestion and therefore it is important that air quality is assessed to ensure that the resident's of the new development will not be subjected to high pollutant concentrations.
Aether has been asked to undertake an air quality assessment for a proposed development of approximately 300 dwellings in Reading. The site lies close to an Air Quality Management Area and therefore it is important that the impact of the development is assessed. The study will use the dispersion model Breeze Roads to assess the air quality both without and with development and make appropriate recommendations.
