Expert air quality, dust and odour assessments across the London Borough of Haringey. Our chartered professionals support planning applications in Tottenham, Wood Green and the High Road West regeneration area.
The London Borough of Haringey is home to one of the most significant regeneration programmes in the capital. The High Road West project in Tottenham — spanning land around Tottenham Hotspur Stadium — is delivering thousands of new homes alongside commercial and community uses, generating sustained demand for air quality assessments, construction dust assessments and Construction Environmental Management Plans. Across the borough, the A10 High Road corridor and the North Circular Road are designated Air Quality Management Areas where nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter levels require careful assessment for all new development.
Haringey falls entirely within the London Ultra Low Emission Zone, and the Mayor of London's London Plan requires new development to be Air Quality Neutral or better. Major schemes must demonstrate an Air Quality Positive approach. These requirements apply alongside Haringey Council's own Local Plan policies, meaning developers need technically robust assessments that satisfy both the borough and the Greater London Authority. Wood Green town centre, Turnpike Lane and Crouch End are all areas seeing active development pressure, each with specific air quality considerations arising from their proximity to busy road corridors.
At Air Dust Odour, our Chartered Environmentalists have detailed knowledge of the London planning system and the specific requirements of Haringey Council. We deliver clear, authoritative assessments that address the ULEZ policy context, the borough's AQMAs and the cumulative impacts arising from the ongoing regeneration programme. We also provide noise and lighting assessments where required to support your planning application.
We provide specialist air quality, dust and odour assessment services for planning applications across the London Borough of Haringey.
Screening and detailed air quality assessments for residential, commercial and mixed-use developments across Haringey. Our assessments follow IAQM guidance and address the specific requirements of Haringey Council and the Greater London Authority, including Air Quality Neutral and Air Quality Positive demonstrations, exposure assessment and mitigation design for sites within or near the borough's AQMAs.
Dust risk assessments and Construction Environmental Management Plans for demolition, earthworks and construction projects across Haringey. The borough's dense residential areas mean sensitive receptors are typically close to development sites, particularly within the High Road West and Tottenham regeneration zones. A robust dust assessment and CEMP are essential to satisfy planning conditions and protect neighbouring properties.
Odour risk assessments for restaurants, takeaways, cafes and commercial kitchens following the EMAQ+ methodology. Haringey's vibrant high streets — including Tottenham High Road, Green Lanes and Wood Green High Road — support a busy food and drink economy, and kitchen odour assessments are routinely required for new or expanded commercial kitchen operations, particularly where residential uses are located above or adjacent.
Demonstrating that a proposed development will not worsen local air quality by exceeding transport and building emission benchmarks. The London Plan requires Air Quality Neutral assessment for all major developments in Haringey, and Air Quality Positive for developments in areas of poor air quality. We assess both transport and building emissions against the relevant benchmarks and advise on mitigation strategies to achieve compliance.
We provide air quality, dust and odour assessment services across all neighbourhoods and development sites in the London Borough of Haringey.
Most developments in Haringey that require planning permission will need at least a screening-level air quality assessment. The borough sits within the London ULEZ and its roads, including the A10 High Road and the North Circular (A406), are subject to Air Quality Management Area declarations for nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. Haringey Council's Local Plan and the Mayor of London's London Plan both require applicants to demonstrate that new development will not worsen air quality and that future occupants will not be exposed to unacceptable pollution levels.
High Road West is one of London's largest regeneration schemes, located in Tottenham N17. The project involves the redevelopment of significant land holdings adjacent to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, delivering thousands of new homes, commercial space and public realm improvements. The scale of this regeneration means air quality assessments, construction dust assessments and Construction Environmental Management Plans are required for individual parcels within the wider masterplan. Cumulative impact assessment is also important given the number of concurrent development phases expected in the area.
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. An air quality neutral assessment, required by the London Plan for developments above certain thresholds, adds to the scope.

Yes. Haringey Council expects a construction dust risk assessment and Construction Environmental Management Plan for most development projects that require planning permission. The borough's dense residential neighbourhoods mean dust-sensitive receptors including homes, schools and health facilities are typically located close to development sites. The assessment follows IAQM guidance to evaluate dust risk during demolition, earthworks and construction phases, and specifies mitigation measures to protect neighbouring residents.
The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers all of Greater London, including Haringey, and sets emissions standards for vehicles driving within the boundary. For planning purposes, the ULEZ is relevant because it forms part of the wider policy context for air quality in London. The Mayor of London's London Plan requires new developments to be Air Quality Neutral or better, and to include an Air Quality Positive assessment for major schemes. Haringey planners will expect applicants to demonstrate compliance with these requirements and to address the borough's declared Air Quality Management Areas.
