Air Quality
Simple and detailed assessments with low emissions design throughout
To generate highly compliant and cost-effective outcomes which actually deliver improvements in air quality, we will work with your design team to incorporate measures which avoids costly reports and risk of delays. Where there are planning requirements, EPS can provide Simple Screening or Detailed Impact Assessments for developers and we also work with local authorities to prepare their Annual Status Reports or help develop their strategies. Throughout all of this, EPS ensures there is a common thread which affords time and practical benefits to the developer whilst actually delivering material benefits for the wider air-breathing public, something often historically lacking in this field. This is our Low Emission Approach.
Through our approach, EPS encourages the inclusion of specific real-world aspects in the design which we’ve reviewed to determine those with the most ‘bang for your buck’. This gives the developer a clear guide for what they need to do at the earliest stage, so they can design the measures into the scheme usually at negligible cost, rather than try to satisfy planning conditions further down the line when it’s all too late. This low emission approach tends to deliver better results for both client and planning authority, and make the resulting development more valuable (and marketable) as a result. As an indication of how compliant this approach is, it has been borne out of EPS working with a local authority to develop their own strategy and academic research sponsored by EPS.
