Despite various reports that highlight the detrimental effects of poor air quality on health, the Council (as at May 2014) have still not undertaken a health impact assessment of the Local Plan. The level of growth proposed by the plan raises concerns regarding the amount of additional traffic that will be in the District and the potential harmful effects it will have on health (particularly in Warwick). Bland re-assurances regarding mitigation proposals are not enough as the impacts of traffic on air quality are uncertain- localised impacts will cause health problems - of that there is no doubt. As set out the current plan is unsound.
