  18. LES Ltd Low Emission Strategies National Planning Policy Framework Planning policies should sustain compliance with and contribute towards EU limit values or national objectives for pollutants, taking into account the presence of Air Quality Management Areas and the cumulative impacts on air quality from individual sites in local areas. Planning decisions should ensure that any new development in Air Quality Management Areas is consistent with the local air quality action plan (Paragraph 124)
  19. LES Ltd Low Emission Strategies NPPF.... Planning policies should sustain compliance with and contribute towards EU limit values or national objectives for pollutants, taking into account the presence of Air Quality Management Areas and the cumulative impacts on air quality from individual sites in local areas. Planning decisions should ensure that any new development in Air Quality Management Areas is consistent with the local air quality action plan or low emission strategy (Paragraph 124) (DCLG website 2013)
  20. LES Ltd Low Emission Strategies NPPF... Plans should protect and exploit opportunities for the use of sustainable transport modes for the movement of goods or people. Therefore, developments should be located and designed where practical to: - incorporate facilities for charging plug-in and other ultra-low emission vehicles; and consider the needs of people with disabilities by all modes of transport (Paragraph 35)
  21. LES Ltd Low Emission Strategies NPPF... If setting local parking standards for residential and non-residential development, local planning authorities should take into account: an overall need to reduce the use of high-emission vehicles (Paragraph 39)
  22. LES Ltd Low Emission Strategies Bradford Low Emission Strategy - Foreword “The existence of a black pall of smoke over the town is quite unnecessary to the trade of Bradford…the existence of the unnatural and unhealthy condition of the atmosphere is highly prejudicial.....” said Dr. Thomas W Hime, Medical Officer of Health for Bradford, in his annual report to the Council in 1884. At Bradford Council we have long recognised that clean air is fundamental for the district to prosper, and be an attractive place to live, work and invest. The adoption of our Air Quality Strategy in April 2011 continued the council’s commitment to protect the health of its residents. Transport is now the major contributor to our air quality problems. This Low Emission Strategy outlines how the council will work with the public and the private sector, and with other stakeholders, to implement measures which reduce the impact of emissions from traffic on public health and air quality, whilst simultaneously contributing to the regeneration of our economy. Cllr Andrew Thornton: Portfolio holder for Environment, Sport & Sustainability

  41. LES Ltd Low Emission Strategies Bradford Waste PFI – Planning Condition A Low Emission Strategy for the operations at the site and its associated road transport shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority 12 months from implementation of this planning decision notice. The Low Emission Strategy shall include, amongst other matters; Assessment of Low Emission Vehicle technology and infrastructure (e.g. Electric Vehicle dedicated parking and charging, gas refuelling station etc) ii) Assessment of fleet emission specification (e.g. current best practice - this may be current Euro standard vehicles). This should include all vehicles forming part of the operation and accessing the site, such as refuse collection vehicles, bulk transfer vehicles, forklifts, heavy goods vehicles, staff vehicles etc iii) Assessment of Procurement policy (including planned vehicle replacement and suppliers of other goods and services) iv) Measures such as eco-driving (driver training and technological aids to eco-driving), and policies regarding vehicle idling. The Low Emission Strategy shall have targets for emission reduction and timescales, with pollution savings quantified. At the end of each calendar year an implementation plan shall be submitted for approval in writing by the Local Planning Authority, which on approval shall be fully implemented in accordance with the details and measures so approved. The Low Emission Strategy shall take into account future changing standards and available technologies and be updated accordingly in agreement with the Local Planning Authority. Reason: In the interests of improving air quality, reducing green house gases and ensuring that the effects on the environment and occupants of adjoining land is minimised, in accordance with policies UR3, P1, P8 and P11 of the Replacement Unitary Development Plan and paragraphs 30 and 120 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
