The approach is relevant and proportionate. Hopefully the penalties stated in bullet point 2 will be applied to Smiths Concrete's application to their current quarry excavation proposals for Barford.

Avoid increasing air pollution in Stratford. This could be achieved by prioritising settlement options outside of Stratford to relieve the air quality issues.

An approach where environmental enhancement and pollution reduction are integrated into developments from the outset is supported. The proposed requirement that new development proposals do not have an adverse impact on existing operations lacks specificity regarding what constitutes 'existing operations' and the threshold at which an effect would be deemed unacceptable. Where development is considered to have a detrimental impact on environmental quality, there are already established legal responsibilities that prevent adverse effects, in the NPPF and statutory environmental protection.

Yes, I agree with the approach laid out in Draft Policy Direction-29-Pollution. The policy takes a comprehensive approach by addressing various forms of pollution, including air, noise, light, and water, and ensures that development is designed to minimize environmental harm. The emphasis on ensuring that development does not lead to significant pollution and includes mitigation strategies aligns with the goal of protecting public health and local environments. Moreover, the focus on Air Quality Management Areas and the requirement for air quality assessments is particularly important in areas like SG04, where development could impact air quality and residents' health.

Why is the council still using pesticides on the grass verges along Avon Crescent, Dale Avenue and Banbury Road??
I’m deeply concerned by The River Avon being polluted. Wildlife, plants, soils and humans are suffering.
The town air is terribly polluted and the traffic is terrible!
Transport and air and water pollution must be addressed!

The issue of pollution is clearly central in relation to proposals regarding Meon Vale and Long Marston Airfield. If motor vehicle journeys are generated through the need of residents to travel to and from urban work and other locations, then noise, air and light pollution will be the consequences. There would be a negative impact upon both the environment and the individuals living within it. This would defeat the policy objective and render the development proposals unsustainable.

Decisions of the council have led to significant increases in pollution. Examples include the Union View development, the roadworks on the A4177 adjacent to that development, the work at Stanks Island which causeed enormous disruption and associated pollution (not to mention cost) for little or no practical benefit and the current traffic scheme serving Tachbrook Park. A good policy is of no benefit if it is then badly applied - which has occurred far too frequently.
