Chartered environmental consultants providing air quality, dust and odour assessments across the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
Environmental Consultants in Hammersmith and Fulham
Hammersmith and Fulham is one of inner west London's most sought-after boroughs, encompassing the busy commercial district of Hammersmith, the riverside villages of Fulham and the creative hub of Shepherd's Bush. The borough has seen sustained development pressure, with major schemes at White City, Earl's Court and along the Thames riverside driving significant new residential and commercial floorspace.
The borough sits within the Greater London Air Quality Management Area and the ULEZ. Hammersmith and Fulham has some of the most challenging air quality of any London borough, with the A4 Great West Road, the Hammersmith gyratory, A316 and Fulham Palace Road generating very high traffic volumes and associated emissions. The council takes a robust approach to air quality in planning, requiring detailed assessment for virtually all significant applications and expecting developers to demonstrate Air Quality Neutral status for major schemes.
Air Dust Odour provides air quality assessments, dust management plans and odour impact assessments across Hammersmith and Fulham. As Chartered Environmentalists and MIAQM members, we prepare reports to the exacting standards required by the council and the Greater London Authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an air quality assessment in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Hammersmith and Fulham falls within the Greater London Air Quality Management Area and the ULEZ. Almost all planning applications for residential, commercial or mixed-use development will require an air quality assessment. The borough has some of west London's worst air quality due to the A4, A316, A3220 and the busy Fulham Palace Road corridor. The council expects detailed assessment of air quality impacts and the effect of existing air quality on future occupants.
What makes Hammersmith and Fulham a challenging borough for air quality?
Hammersmith and Fulham is one of London's most densely developed boroughs, with very high traffic volumes on the A4 Great West Road, the A316, Fulham Palace Road and King Street. The Hammersmith flyover and gyratory are notorious congestion and pollution hotspots. Combined with high residential density and limited green space, this creates a difficult environment for new development and means air quality assessment is almost always required.
How much does an air quality assessment cost in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Costs depend on the type and complexity of assessment required. Screening assessments typically start from around £500, detailed air quality assessments with dispersion modelling from around £1,500, and kitchen odour assessments from around £800.

Do I need a dust assessment for construction in Hammersmith and Fulham?
Yes. Hammersmith and Fulham Council requires a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) or dust assessment for most developments involving demolition, excavation or construction. Given the high density of residential receptors throughout the borough, dust management is taken very seriously and the council expects detailed mitigation measures to be set out.
We are opening a restaurant near Fulham — do we need an odour assessment?
Yes, most new or significantly altered food premises in Hammersmith and Fulham will require an odour impact assessment as part of the planning application. The borough has a high density of food and drink businesses alongside residential uses, and the council carefully scrutinises odour management for new food premises. We prepare assessments in accordance with EMAQ+ guidance.
