Air Quality Assessment Kingston upon Thames
Chartered environmental consultants providing air quality, dust and odour assessments across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
Environmental Consultants in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston upon Thames is a thriving riverside borough with one of south-west London's most popular town centres. The borough extends from the busy commercial hub of Kingston itself to the suburban neighbourhoods of Surbiton, New Malden and Chessington. Development pressure is focused particularly around Kingston town centre and the Tolworth regeneration area.
The borough sits within the Greater London Air Quality Management Area and the ULEZ. The A3 corridor, the busy A307 through Kingston town centre and surrounding road network create localised air quality constraints. Kingston Council applies GLA guidance in assessing air quality impacts of planning applications, particularly for residential developments near busy roads.
Air Dust Odour provides air quality assessments, dust management plans and odour impact assessments across Kingston. As Chartered Environmentalists and MIAQM members, we prepare reports to the standards required by Kingston Council and the Greater London Authority.
