Air Quality Management Areas for Revocation or Amendment 2025

From: Cabinet - Tuesday 8th July 2025 1.30 pm - July 08, 2025

A report recommending the revocation or amendment of Air Quality Management Areas in Kirklees.   As the decision relates to the revocation or amendment (reduction in area) of Air Quality Management Areas it is a significant, positive impact for people living/working/visiting those areas as there has been sufficient reduction in air pollutants that the local air quality now meets national guidelines.    The revocation/amendment of AQMAs, is largely an administrative process, however it does have the resultant impact of removing that locality from the Council’s obligations to develop and implement an Air Quality Action Plan (AQAP).  AQAPs are required to identify and implement interventions to lead to a reduction in the pollutants of concern in designated AQMAs.    Background papers;   -       Air Quality Management Areas for Revocation or Amendment Cabinet Report -       Kirklees Council Air Quality Annual Status Report 2024: www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/crime-and-safety/pdf/kirklees-annual-status-report-2024.pdf     The proposed decision is a statutory requirement for local authorities as part of their obligations under Local Air Quality Management.  The proposed actions are in accordance with the requirements contained within the Environment Act 1995 (as amended), Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) guidance.
