Canyon effects and localised pockets of poor air quality must be addressed by good design and sufficient distance separation between building to reduce air pollution and improve air quality. This should be seen as an amenity issue for neighbours. If the development is along routes limey to have large numbers of vulnerable persons such as young children or the elderly , special care should be taken to ensure air quality guidelines are not breached.
Offset schemes are not acceptable if air quality is made dangerous in other areas, and is unlikely to meet EU legislation.
