Decision details

The Cabinet approved:

(1)     The submission of the 2019 Annual Statement Report (as attached as Appendix 1 of the report) to DEFRA

(2)     The publication of the documentation set out in Section 9.4

(3)     That the relevant lead officers for Air Quality and Cabinet Members are given a copy of the deputation made by Mr Dobson; it is recognised that different models and modelling techniques are used by Local Authorities and Government for different purposes and inconsistencies can arise in the way that Government require the Council to assess, for example, traffic growth forecasts and the subsequent impacts upon Air Quality and other forecasts.  Where such inconsistencies arise, the Council will endeavour to provide an explanation in reports and decisions.
