| The Secretary of State has now approved the Development Consent Order for the widening. The report by the Inspectors did refer to problems on the A4 : "......LBHo does not have confidence in the assumptions and data used in the air quality modelling as it considers that the assessment heavily under-predicts NO2 concentrations compared with the monitored data ..... 5.7.44 There is one affected link (the A4) within the study area, in the Greater London Urban Area, that is reported by Defra as non- compliant in 2020, which is also predicted to be non-compliant when projected to 2022. The Defra report does not take into account any effects from the proposed development. The receptor with the highest predicted annual average NO2 concentration with the proposed development in place is receptor N353 (52.7μg/m3). The predicted increase in annual average NO2 concentrations is +0.3μg/m3 at this receptor. This is also the largest predicted increase at a receptor along this link. ... 5.7.82 The primary purpose of the EU AQD is to set limits to the levels of NO2 and PM10 for the protection of human health. The M4 passes through built up areas with high residential populations which have been declared as AQMAs and in which the EU objective for the annual mean concentration of NO2 is already exceeded. .........." As far as I can see, the receptor they identify is Egerton House at the junction of the A4 and Sutton Court Road. There is now a six week period to see if a Judicial Review is launched before the decision is ratified ! |
