Air Quality Assessment Redbridge
Chartered environmental consultants providing air quality, dust and odour assessments across the London Borough of Redbridge.
Environmental Consultants in Redbridge
Redbridge spans from the busy commercial centre of Ilford in the south to the greener suburban areas of Hainault and Woodford in the north, bordering Epping Forest. The borough has seen steady residential development growth, with Ilford town centre subject to significant regeneration as part of Crossrail-linked growth.
The borough sits within the Greater London Air Quality Management Area and the ULEZ. The A12 Eastern Avenue, the A406 North Circular and high-traffic routes through Ilford town centre create air quality constraints for nearby development. Redbridge Council expects planning applicants to assess air quality impacts in accordance with GLA and national guidance.
Air Dust Odour provides air quality assessments, dust management plans and odour impact assessments across Redbridge. As Chartered Environmentalists and MIAQM members, we prepare reports to the standards required by Redbridge Council and the Greater London Authority.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an air quality assessment in Redbridge?
Redbridge falls within the Greater London Air Quality Management Area and the ULEZ. Most planning applications for residential, commercial or mixed-use development will require an air quality assessment. Key road corridors including the A12, A406 North Circular and the High Road through Ilford create significant air quality constraints, and Redbridge Council expects applicants to demonstrate that developments will not worsen local air quality or expose future occupants to unacceptable pollution levels.
What areas of Redbridge do you cover?
We cover all areas of the London Borough of Redbridge including Ilford, Woodford, Wanstead, South Woodford, Gants Hill, Barkingside, Hainault, Clayhall and surrounding neighbourhoods. We are familiar with the borough's planning policies and air quality requirements.
How much does an air quality assessment cost in Redbridge?
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 Redbridge?
Yes. Redbridge Council requires a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) or dust assessment for most developments involving demolition, excavation or construction, particularly in residential areas. We prepare CEMPs in line with IAQM guidance on the assessment of dust from demolition and construction.
We are opening a takeaway in Ilford — do we need an odour assessment?
Yes, most new or significantly altered food premises in Redbridge will require an odour impact assessment as part of the planning application. Ilford town centre has a high concentration of food businesses with mixed residential and commercial uses nearby, making odour assessment important. We prepare assessments in accordance with EMAQ+ guidance.
