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.
The project will use the dispersion model Breeze Roads to model the impact of the surrounding traffic on air pollutant concentrations and recommend ways to mitigate the impact, if appropriate.
