The principle aim of the Air Quality Technical Planning Guidance is to coordinate an emission mitigation approach to improve air quality across Thanet. This will enable key issues, including road traffic, transportation and development, to be addressed in an integrated manner and will assist in the promotion of effective Air Quality monitoring, management and education across a broader geographic area. The report seeks Cabinet approval to amend the Air Quality Action Plan to include updated Planning Guidance.
