Air quality management area
The National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), defines air quality management areas as: ‘Areas designated by local authorities because they are not likely to achieve national air quality objectives by the relevant deadlines.’
The National Planning Policy Framework was revised in response to the Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill: reforms to national planning policy consultation on 19 December 2023 and sets out the government’s planning policies for England and how these are expected to be applied. This revised Framework replaces the previous National Planning Policy Framework published in March 2012, revised in July 2018, updated in February 2019, revised in July 2021 and updated in September 2023, for further details follow this link National Planning Policy Framework updated 2023.
