Enter your site address and a few details. Our engine pulls every official air quality dataset for your site, runs the industry-standard IAQM dust risk assessment and EPUK/IAQM screening, draws the pollution maps and writes the full professional report your planning application needs — mitigation plan and draft conditions included.
Defra modelled NO2 and PM2.5 concentration maps, Air Quality Management Area boundaries and the IAQM dust screening distances — every map drawn around your site with a red line boundary, ready for the council.
The full IAQM (2024) five-step method: screening, dust emission magnitude, area sensitivity from real background data, risk matrices and the complete mitigation schedule councils secure by condition.
EPUK/IAQM screening of your traffic, parking and heating plant, impact descriptors at the nearest receptors, site-suitability against the air quality objectives — plus London Air Quality Neutral where it applies.
Full address, what you're building, and rough numbers — homes, floorspace, parking, anything being demolished. No technical knowledge needed.
Live Defra, UK-AIR and Department for Transport data is fetched for your exact location, the assessments are run, maps are drawn and the full report is written and quality-polished automatically.
Your free report is ready in minutes — review every page, map and table and download it immediately.
Householder schemes and new dwellings where the validation checklist asks for an air quality assessment or a construction dust assessment — the most common reason applications stall.
Offices, retail, industrial and storage schemes needing operational screening, an energy-plant statement and a dust management plan — including HGV-generating uses.
Sites in or near Air Quality Management Areas get the stricter screening criteria automatically; London sites get the Air Quality Neutral benchmarks and NRMM requirements of the London Plan.
Householder, minor and medium-scale applications across the UK — new dwellings, extensions, commercial and mixed-use schemes. The report provides the construction dust assessment and the operational screening/simple assessment that local authorities ask for. Very large schemes triggering detailed dispersion modelling (ADMS) may need a bespoke consultancy appointment as well.
The IAQM Guidance on the assessment of dust from demolition and construction (v2.2, January 2024), the EPUK & IAQM Land-Use Planning & Development Control guidance (2017), Defra's LAQM.TG(22) technical guidance, the National Planning Policy Framework and Planning Practice Guidance — and, for London sites, London Plan Policy SI 1 with the Air Quality Neutral benchmarks (2023) and NRMM rules.
Live from official open datasets at the moment your report is created: Defra's background concentration maps for your exact 1 km grid square, the national AQMA and Smoke Control Area boundaries, measured annual means from the national monitoring networks, Defra's modelled roadside concentrations, and Department for Transport traffic counts. Every source and access date is listed inside the report.
The report detects this automatically, applies the stricter in-AQMA screening criteria, addresses consistency with the council's Air Quality Action Plan, and sets out the design and mitigation measures that make the development acceptable.
